La Jolla 5-26-17 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Calm conditions, easy launch & landing, Bait was scarce (I couldn't make it after 4 hours and about 20 other people were having similar problem). I did not see anyone with fish. Perhaps next time.

No bait even off pier
Did see promising marks on ff. No love for butterfly jig

So the fishing is super great right now! Bait everywhere. Yellowtail and WSB are wide open. Right?

Caught one mackerel after hours of trying. He quickly escaped my trolling hook....D'oh. Threw the iron randomly for a few hours...nada.

Good thing I threw in my swimbait rod as I caught a few small bass to avoid the full skunk. The kelp is still scarce.

Kayaking conditions overall were great. There may have been a good late afternoon bite. I was not persistent enough to find out.
