05/30 La Jolla all day.

Got up nice and early this morning and fished for all the fish ever haha. Started out making bait and drifting for hailbut(fish 1) found some great size bait but no takers. Drifted for a hour. Then went over to the edge of the kelp and drifted some baits for White Sea bass (fish 2) changed things up a little after the baits weren’t working very well for us. Dropped shrimp in the kelp and caught a couple kelp bass (fish 3) and pulled up a couple small sheephead (fish 4) now being around noon winds were about 8-10mph, went out rock fishing. Saw some birds working about a mile past the rock fishing spot so chased them down. Throw some irons and flat falls at them, lots of dolphins working and lots and lots of birds. Hoping for a yellow tail (fish 5) Didn’t mark much of the fish finder. Went back a mile and caught some rock fish (fish 6) for dinner. Then made the paddle back to the beach 4.4 miles away. Overall good day very windy all day.

I’m starting to think he got kicked out of his house. Or really dislikes the people he lives with.

Good report

That was me coming in behind you on a PA. Looked very fishy out there, but nobody wanted to play. Stayed on the water to see the sunset. Dolphins started to go on the chew as soon as the lights went out. Amongst other predators. You could feel the tension on the water. It was actually kinda eerie that night coming in. Felt like I was being watched. . Hope to get out there soon.

I stayed out after dark the day before and I definitely could agree with that. It’s gets really quite quickly and then you can hear things all around you. Dolphins hitting bait, the bait ball moving across the surface, the sea lions breathing and jumping. But what do you like to use for lures with the sun goes down? Do you switch to glow in the dark irons? Thanks!

Try frozen squid on a glow iron or on a swimbait head.

It’s like a GoPro stick that goes into the front hole on my pa. Think it’s the hole for the sail.

Thanks man. Now I’ve never had a GoPro. Are you recording video? Or have a remote setup to snap pictures?

On the GoPro app you can select individual frames and save the images. So I take like a ten second video then save the frame I like. I really like my GoPro for the use I get out of it, never had anything else ether so I’m a little bias.
