Directions to LJ launch for Rockfish Tourney - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

rieffer · 03-29-2014, 01:44 PM

Hi Guys, I'm really looking forward to the upcoming Rockfish tourney next weekend. Only one problem, I've never fished LJ and have no idea where the launch site is. MapQuest doesn't show me squat! I'm coming from Orange County and would appreciate some directions and any tips, i.e. proper $ for parking, where not to park, etc. Is it recommended to do the Friday Captains meeting or the Saturday morning one? Thanks for the help and am looking forward to meeting you. Jim

go to google maps and find Kellogg Park in La Jolla Shores. It's
right on the beach. Public parking lot is adjacent, just north
of the park.

Take I-5 to La Jolla Village Dr. Left on Torrey Pines Rd, Rt on La Jolla Shores Dr., left on Avenida De La Playa, Rt on El Paseo Grande, Left on Calle Frescota into the parking lot. Double ck with Google maps.

Good Luck at the tourney. Yani

Wait Tourney? I just joined this site and I am hoping my Kayak gets here by next weekend. I would love to join such an expedition if of course i can handle it and if my new yak can as well.

Someone want to point me in the right direction for new info? I have already met some great people. I want to get out and practice as soon as i can

Look in the tournament section on this site. There is registration info. Would be a good opportunity for you to meet a bunch of guys and having that many people around would be safe for you to get the hang of things. I just don't know about your yak making it through the surf if it's up that day.

Unfortunately its supposed to rain saturday with 35mph gusts according to my weatherman. Hopefully he is dead wrong haha but yes the surf will definitely be interesting

That's the right one, it was postponed due to hurricane-like conditions. The surf was way up March 1st and it would have been unlikely that most would have made it out.
