Plans for Saturday (February 8)? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

addicted2sp33d · 02-04-2014, 02:19 PM

Anyone heading out from La Jolla on Saturday?

My friend and I were planning to head out to the Kelp, but we're relative noobs.

Any nice BWE'ers mind if we tag along?

addicted2sp33d · 02-05-2014, 12:23 PM

Really? 102 Views and no-one even bothers to say "Good Luck"??

Raskal311 · 02-05-2014, 12:28 PM

I wouldn't be going anywhere until my health issues gets better but how does the weather look? Could be the reason why no one is responding.

Raskal311 · 02-05-2014, 12:31 PM

And it could just be me (also noob) but a lot of these can I tag along in LJ seems to get less/no invitations compared to other locations. After not finding anyone to go with most of last year I ended up hiring Josh to take me out. Glad I did, learned a lot.

But yea hopefuly in about a month I'll be able to join you out there.

Good luck!

Will be out there next weekend, pending weather. Good luck this weekend though.

alfsteur · 02-05-2014, 01:15 PM

Good luck, I considered going out to LJ as well this weekend, but wind, wave & swell conditions look speculative plus the beach launch is still closed....

Yeah, we're definitely keeping an eye on the wind forecasts too.

So-far it looks like it might be a little hairy in the morning, but the swell shouldn't be too bad after sunrise.

If the launch is still closed, well, that's a different problem. Maybe we'll launch from somewhere else.

If you have wheels, it is really no big deal. You can use the stairs by the bathrooms rather than go over the wall.

Oh, and GOOD LUCK!

I was one of those views.
My plans are iffy for Sat. otherwise I would have said sure you can tag along, but I'll warn you I'm no expert if we do go.

swellwatch forecast looks good: http://forecasts.surfingmagazine.com...e_satellite_-1

and magicseaweed looks good too http://magicseaweed.com/Scripps-Pier...rf-Report/296/ (but I have heard some don't like this site due to its inaccurate reports).

I'm not seeing any wind issues either. 10mph isn't ideal, but it is manageable.

Good luck!

Weather is looking OK:

0-1 foot swells with 11 second periods
6-8 mph onshore breeze coming from the NW.

More-than-likely we'll be in La Jolla around 6:30A - 7:00A.

Any final words of wisdom for La Jolla Virgins?

Are we crazy for going out in a 6-8mph wind?

Cbad Mike · 02-07-2014, 12:00 PM

I've been watching the weather and water reports for a week. I'm over due and need to get out there! If I go tomorrow your more than welcome to tag along. I'll know later today or this evening. I'll let you know..

Cbad Mike · 02-07-2014, 01:10 PM

Pm sent.

FISH11 · 02-07-2014, 01:27 PM

Unless there was a change of lightning I'de be going no matter what but I'm sitting here with a cast on my leg after foot surgery about 3 1/2 weeks ago. I can't wait to have it off because there is no better place to be fishing around southern california than La Jolla and I miss it right now really bad. Keep posting about all the trips cause it's how I can make it, till the foot heals. Tight lines everyone

Grunt31 · 02-07-2014, 03:27 PM

I feel your pain. Posted twice. A lot of views...no comments. No Biggs. Fishing is an art...you learn stuff without distractions on your own. But this is a forum and you got some hints. Best luck for someone new.... Watch the birds.... If they are diving and going crazy... They are on bait fish and sometimes a bigger fella is hanging around. So drop a Sabiki rig and at least pull on some fish...even throw an iron on the bottom so it looks like it's chasing. Try fly lining. Or some dropper loops.... Make sure you have some deep and surface irons- scrambled eggs are nice. And maybe a few swims for some bass by the kelp.... Either way if all else fails... Hit up some bait fish... Still fun to catch especially if your new. But good luck..tight lines... And bent rods...

Bert Vega · 02-07-2014, 03:31 PM

Wish you guys were going on Sunday instead. I am going out somewhere on Sunday.

buddha · 02-07-2014, 03:58 PM
