Successful Couple of Days in SD
On tuesday I met up with ctf photo for some rock fishing in la Jolla. Arrived at the launch around 11am and there was small choppy waves, light winds and overcast sky's. the launch was easy and so we started hitting lobster buoys for rockfish and looking for macs to stock up on for lobster. The sun came out and we found a spot that gave both of us a variety of rockfish. I was in 90ft of water and fishing a double dropper loop with cut squid and anchovies with a 4oz weight. The fish seemed to like the anchovies. Easy landing on the beach at sunset. I went out lobstering again on Wednesday starting at sunset. Weather was overcast when I started then the rain started. Ended up with 6 keepers and was done at 230am I made yani's rockfish soup recipe which is perfect for this rainy weather and a day off of fishing. The bugs are still out there but you gotta put the time in to find them. |

Yes I believe they are all rock fish. Correct me if I'm wrong but the green and browns ones are tree rockfish, the spotted one on the right is a sculpin and the others are vermilion rockfish and starry eyed rockfish. They are all very tasty pan fried for tacos, sandwiches, or fish and chips. You can also do ceviche but I didn't try that yet.

Nice Smörgåsbord. You could open up a restaurant with that catch.

Tuesday was awesome, One and half million people live in the San Diego area and we were the only Kayak Fisherman in all of La Jolla .... just awesome.
That Sculpin you caught was huge, very nice and tasty I bet. There was a very good variety of fish that day. Mikey is killing it hooping on the yak this year. He may be in first Last week when I hooped with Mikey, we dropped our nets went back to the launch and built a fire and had awesome carne asada tacos while we waited. Man this is the life ..... I am one of those people who push others into doing things, What's cool about Mikey is he pushes back and we plan and execute great adventures ..... Can't wait for the next one ...... |

Congrats
Good work. I put in some serious time in at Long Beach this week only to get skunked both nights!! I went out Tuesday night in the windy chop. . . nothing. Then thursday night right after the rain it was eerily calm but again. . . nothing. But the only thing worse than a skunk is not getting out on the water at all. It may be time to take a trip down to SD.

You caught a sculpin, vermillion, honey comb, gopher and tree fish.
Olive rock fish are called johnny bass. Johhny bass look very similiar to yellowtail rockfish and are sometimes confused with eachother. Kelp Rockfish and brown rockfish also look very similiar and are called sugar bass |
