La Jolla - 7/9/16 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Anyone up for some fishing outside La Jolla tomorrow? Conditions are not optimal, but it will be nice to head out and see what is biting. I plan on trying for a Yellowtail, then halibut if that does not pan out.

Thinking about it. Won't know til later. If I do it will probably be about 0500 in a Yellow outback.

Kirk,

Same. 5am - blue outback. My only question is IF I can make myself get up early enough. I seriously need to get out there and catch something nice.

I don't think there was much action going on in La Jolla last Saturday. I was able to catch this 23lb YT. I broke away from the main group of kayakers and caught this guy north of the kelp beds.

And a thanks to kirkdavis for taking the picture for me. It was good to meet you out there.

Yeah, this was entirely due to luck, I have zero doubt. I had given up on YT for the day and started fishing for Halibut by the kelp. Caught a few Calico when the YT started ripping off line.

Tonight is going to be YT for dinner. I am looking forward to it.

Hopefully next weekend proves a good time to head out again. Unless something ugly crops up on the weather or surf, I will most likely head out again Saturday.
