Photo showing Scripps Canyon at Blacks - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Waterâ€™s Edge

I love the old pictures of the San Diego Beaches and bays. They always make me wonder what it would be like if we had the fish populations from those days with todays fishing gear. Oh and it would be nice if teh human population was the same as it was back then too.
Where exactly is the old LJ farm?
Is that it in the top right hand corner of the first picture?

The recent posts regarding water etiquette and the "rights" of the "locals" make me think how unfortunate it is that people today have lost the sense of history that surrounds the beaches and waters of La Jolla.

San Diego Bottom Scratchers

Bob Simmons - Why Windansea will always be a waterman's shrine

As we walk across the same beaches as these legends, what will our generation contribute to this legacy?

Wow Ronbo! that San Diego Bottom Scratchers link is awsome. Check out those WSB. Love to go back in time

What a cool photo of the pier and the canyons.
Has anybody seen anything like that but more recent-I don't see why that photo can't be duplicated on a clear water day with the right sun conditions.
I would like to see if they changed and how far out the edges go-as opposed to looking at my fishfinder.

You can find recent aerial photos of the Scripps area here. It's at a different angle though. Difficult to compare to the old photo.

Nice links Ronbo. We have a picture of my dad on a longboard at La Jolla in the 60's with 3 huge WSB laid across the front. If I am not mistaken he won a spear fishing contest that day.

Great resources guys!

The breakers were breaking before the new pier on Tuesday.
