LJ tomorrow (Sat 10/25)? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I know a 3/4 day is more expensive, but the way it has been it's also basically a guarantee. I say hop on the San Diego.. Same grade of fish, less of a learning curve

i dunno about that, my Dad just dragged me down to the rock pile and there weren't many yellows....small and on the bottom. flylines were getting pummeled by bonito and the seals are out of control.

don't waste your money and fish la jolla. who wants to sit on a 6 hour boat ride to catch smaller fish than at home?!

HMMM. We are split 50-50.

The problem with your hypothesis Dannowar, ("to catch smaller fish than at home"), is the assumption that I am catching yellowtail at "home."

I haven't been, which is why, unless I can get some on the water tips this weekend, I was thinking it would be better to get on the cattle boat.

It takes time and patience, to be able to catch what you want. Make friends, start a network or join one, fish every chance you get. If you don't have time to make friends or start or join a network...then BUY in! Call Captain Wade he'll get you on somethin'!

Now as far as a 3/4 day guarantee....nothing is guaranteed....! But...if you have to catch one now...it might be your best bet. Honestly I rather catch one yellowtail on my kayak then multiple yellows on a sportboat.

I say get your ass down to La Jolla and keep try'n, because it'll come!! Just ask easyday Josh! He earned that one! Hopefully you'll earn yours too.

If you're not already signed up for a 3/4 day I doubt you will find any openings.

The San Diego has 8 openings for tomorrow, and both San Diego and Mahilini have open spots on Sunday.

But my stubbornness is kicking in. I'm leaning toward bringing the yak out to LJ.

Ful-Rac, thanks for your encouragement. My post was only partly asking advice about whether to sign on to a 3/4 day. It was ALSO meant as an effort to find someone to fish with that I might learn something from.

SO, who wants to fish LJ tomorrow?

Crazy Cajun · 10-24-2014, 01:21 PM

Fish tomorrow, wind should be up on Sunday. And if the wind stays down on Sunday, fish Sunday as well.

addicted2sp33d · 10-24-2014, 01:38 PM

I vote La Jolla.

If the boat only has a single-digit of free spots, that means you will spend a lot of time dealing with crossed lines and other people on the boat. Your actual time with "lines in the water" will not be what you expect.

Some friends and I once took a full-day trip out to Catalina, and our time with "lines in the water" was only a few hours because we spent a lot of time getting over there, moving around to find the fish, then moving again to follow the fish, then a lot of time coming back. We got some fish, but I will probably never do that again unless the ticket price comes waaay down. Such a waste of money IMO.

Just think of how much gear/bait your ticket could buy!

Preach kind sir!!!! One yellow on the yak was better than 7 yellows on a 3/4 day boat for me. On the yak, it's you versus the elements. Catch your own bait, find your own fish, land (gaff) your own fish. Do that and you will feel accomplished. Or you could pay to have your fish filleted.

Data and statistics.....
$145.00 day boat, free bait, no paddling, but.....what does $145.00 buy in the tackle store?

If you are a kayak-fisherman, than you really only have one answer.
