Finally making the drive to LJ - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Dave k · 06-16-2011, 10:59 AM

Hey guys, as the title suggests, I’ve never been down to fish La Jolla of the yak. I’ll be in SD this weekend for family stuff, so I was hoping to get out on the water Saturday morning. I fish Malibu and PV pretty frequently, but living in North LA, it’s a trek to get down to LJ on a regular basis. I’ve got a couple questions for you guys so I can make sure I bring the right gear down with me.

- Is there any squid in the area, or are the fish on fin bait?

- I drive a 2wd car, so I’m not going to be driving on the sand. Do I need to bring my cart, or can I park next to the sand and drag the yak to the water? My cart doesn’t have those big sand tires either.

- I looked at the map and directions on the Plastic Navy site, is that info all current?

I’ll be bringing the bass gear as a backup, but would like to target YT, WSB or even threshers. Any other advice or input is welcome.

I’ll be in a camo Trident, so feel free to say hi.

Thanks guys!

I'll be there tomorrow morning if you've got any questions about fishing the area. Look for a white Ford F150 with a Baylor sticker on the back window and a tan Hobie Revo. I should be on the beach at 5:45am

Oh and leave the bass gear at home... go big or go home!
