Check out the launch! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I watched you haul your kayak out wavster. I can't go out in the rain because I'll melt so I set here and hit the refresh button and watch the launch area wash away. Thanks for the pictures. The news is getting all scary about the hills of La Jolla washing away. Hope that doesn't happen.

I'm more worried about the hills along the Del Dios. All the vegetation is gone,
now the land is exposed. At least in LJ, there's vegetation on the hillside.

Wow- big brother only shows the mild part of the scene!

What neither pictures or video can portray, is the smell of that water. I'm
thinking a sewage line ruptured or just backed up. It really smelled awful.

Anyone going in the water in the next couple of days out to be very careful
about water contact.

There is an incredible amount of sewage and pollution spilling into our ocean right now. Could that make fish caught right now unsafe to eat? Or in the cases like a bay, does a fish have to live in polluted water for an extended period of time before it becomes toxic?

Also, will the pollution and sewage runoff from a storm cause the fish to leave an area?

Thanks for your thoughts!

This is one of man's way to pollute the ocean,one of natures way is by red tide. What, fish leave the area.......... hell they've already left.note catch reports..........

Well the ample bait and twenty-five feet of visibility with no current have created a virtual ghost-town. I think most would attest this to be true. Maybe a river of runoff and a little poo will chum some fish into our zone.what kind of fish is another story.
