3-8-08 La Jolla, CA - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Holy Mackerel · 03-08-2008, 04:07 PM

Decided to contribute a report to the sport of Kayak Fishing...

Launched 4:55amish... Little to no bioluminescense.... No wind, and surf at ~1-2ft... Water temp at 58 degs...
Plenty of Spanish, and greenies mixed in....

Didn't hear of any squirts caught, but saw the squid boats working out near the NW corner...
didn't feel like paddling that far, that is why I have a PB...

Not too cold out, sun came up, some clouds, but mostly clear skies...

Fairly glassy today, despite a nice tide swing, little to no current.....

Didn't hear, nor see of any of the big 3 fish caught today... Although Art had a nice ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ,
I think he swung early... probably with a circle hook...

landed around 11AM... Just a friendly reminder to pack up quickly as we get closer to summer... lots of "chatty cathy's"
this upon landing taking their time...

Saw this Bad A$$ Baja Mobile on the way out, I wish I had the tires on this truck...

great report Chris!

May I fill out an application for "putting the cool back in reporting" club ?

Yours is my next report, if I ever make it out there.

I'm still sick, but now my kid has a fever. Measured 104, we're keeping it down and under control.

Fun fishing with the crew this morning, even if the bite was slow. Art, you got let 'em run.lollollol

Chris, good point about the launch. It's gonna start getting real crowded here soon as the rentals pick up. I've noticed a lot more tourists paddling the last week or so.

Slow for me too. What a beautiful day on the water! All we need are some biting fish to show up!

aguachico · 03-08-2008, 08:47 PM

Let's hope things pickup soon.
Glad I just the truck washed!
Brad; I owe you cabron

I have a lot of fun on the beach, helped a rubenesque tourist get thru the killer surf. It was a hoot watching her paddle while laying on her back. The parking this summer is going to be bad. I just use my wheels and don't even bother driving onto the beach

Woke up late and made my way down. Didn't launch untill a little after 7. Beautiful day on the water. Nothing happening but always nice to get out.
