LJ tomorrow (Sat 10/25)?

[addicted2sp33d]

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!

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?

Good points. My resolve was being weakened by a report that 51 anglers on the San Diego had 100 YT in the 10-25 range aboard as of 1pm, but I'll stay the course.

Hah. Good one. For a minute it sounded like you actually believe those fish reports.

La Jolla Dude! Last Saturday I was out there fishing for Yellows just a little further than the cattle boat came into. Some of then almost parked right next to some of the other kayaker. While fishing there and of course drinking beer, it was funny to look at the cattle boat and see like 75 people shoulder to shoulder while trying to fish and hope for what the kayakers where catching. They have no roon to cast and the reports had about 1/3 of the total spots caught anything worth writing about. Just think beautifull suroundings, drinking beer (you bought a lot cheaper) and being able to relax with all the elbow space you need. It's a no brainer! I know I'm going to be there Saturday.
