La Jolla Red Tide

[drunkentiger765]

Went out yesterday as well. Just kayaking though no fishing since I wanted to keep it simple the first day out in a while, and the red tide being out.


Launched about 6pm and beach wasnt too bad out. Got a decent sunset in a couple miles off shore. After the sun went down Bioluminescence was awesome. Great time just paddling around playing in it and watching fish and sea lions swim around in it.



Landed about 9:30. Launch was a mess with people hanging out watching the waves. 3 cars side by side using the entrance to launch as a parking lot didnt help as well but was able to squeeze through to pack up. So might not be the best if you are trying to avoid people.


Water was nice and calm out with no wind after dark.

Stay safe all.

Yesterday we had to go past about 2 miles west of the La Jolla point to finally be in clearer almost normal water. Had a hard time making normal bait, used jigs most of the day. Caught numerous rock fish and kept a couple. Had a short fun time when a new friend (ED) hooked on when using the only greenback we caught between 3 of us. He hooked onto a Thresher and got taken for a ride, unfortunately too short of a ride as he was using 20lb mono top shot. It never cleared up so spend the day not covered and not cold, but when looking in a mirror late I noticed how sunburned I got. Not having been able to get out since the lock down started my leg, knee ligaments got painful last night and better this morning after having to drag the kayak down and up the sand. This would not have been an issue if we had been able to get out for many weeks and kayak fish then my body would have kept in shape. Still it for made it one of the best days in the last 2 months.
