Damn, I so want to go back, and get more than an hour of fishing, but have too many family plans this weekend.

In and out before 10am. You can do it 😜

Silbaugh4liberty · 11-24-2014, 09:47 AM

We know squid is spawning, and their munching on em big time! Some dude hooked up on the frozen squid with a dropper loop. Mine hit the jig near the bottom. Crazy that neither of us saw anything on the ff!

Probably between 6:30-7.

Conditions Friday look better with almost no wind an sets less than 1' @ 13 sec intervals.

Thursday's not too bad either with 1' @ 11 sec intervals, a little windier though at 8mph SW

Honestly never stayed at CL more than a few hours. Usually I'm back on the road by 10am. Bite shuts down really quick there, well then again I've never fished for YT there in the past.

wiredantz · 11-24-2014, 10:56 AM

Its true usally at 10am everyone off the water.

I think he meant Cabrillo. Last time I was there, they left at 11. I stayed on a little longer, but only got one rockfish early, and fought the wind back, wishing I left at 11! That was months ago though.

Well shit, if it's wide open until 8, then shuts off, no sense in staying past 10 unless you didn't get one!

Wasnt me!

Slept through my alarm and missed the county line crew. I ended up fishing Newport...and nearly got blown out to sea! Spent more time paddling than fishing so I called it early.

Was Geocaching out in Malibu area this weekend. Wind was blowing hard enough to knock me down once in mid step. Was hard to walk on the trails getting hit with sand dust and small rocks. We watched the wind blowing out to sea something furious. Someone has to be out of there mind to go kayaking in this weather if they knew about it before hand..

many moons ago
I was out when a sheer wind hit horizontally to the coast
opp of how the mild wind was blowing at the time
blowing 50 mi plus
luckily I was close to shore
and stayed in my yak
some scary shit

blowing out to sea
forget about it
there was no paddling against that shit

Saba Slayer · 11-25-2014, 06:22 AM

My friend lives very close to County Line and this was his text to me on his take of the stupidity...
"i watched it all from the beach...the wind was light until 730 ..then wham!!! 2 (newbies) guys were blown out of thier yaks ..1 guy (seasoned yaker) made it back only to be told he had to abdonon his kayak a few hundred yards from shore and get on jet ski..he paddled 2 hours in wind...had to leave his yak gear and fish ..to the wind..the worst part of the story was that the party boats did nothing to help the guys when the wind came up..."

Come-on guys...check the weather...red flag warnings are always dangerous and bad news up in the Malibu area...being a newbie isn't an excuse for a lack of common sense.

I guess things have changed...in the past if a kayaker (somebody like Jim Day) mentioned a hot bite in Malibu...they were threatened or their vehicle was vandalized...this bite has been going on for about a month and every once in a while a newbie will catch wind of it and make a big deal and blow it up so every knucklehead on the coast wants to "get together to catch their first YELLOWTAIL". There's a lot to be said for the guys that just go catch their fish and eat it without all the BS.
Please ere on the side of safety...just cuz it's your only day off doesn't mean that you have to risk your life for a fish and chum the boards until everyone wants to fish there.
I wonder where that kayak ended up...Santa Cruz Island or San Nick?

ful-rac · 11-25-2014, 07:34 AM

Right Jim, like I said in another post....all BS aside, County is one dangerous place to go fishing sometimes. If you are a newbie reading about the fish being caught in Malibu....and think you can do it... I'd seriously ask you to reconsider. I would say, get some surf launching experience, self rescue, and a marine radio and know how to use it.

Even experienced kayakers can get into trouble out there....

Oh yeah not to mention the Great Whites that cruise that area.....
