Better than Most
 

The weekend at LJ for us that is. Had a wild idea to fish an interesting slope/depth on Sat. morning and it paid off both days. Found some really nice structure and associated Rockfish. I saw 6 YT caught on Sat., although that was better than most of the rest of the fleet did. Btw, one of the YT we kept on Sat had a Sanddab in its stomach, and the other a Red Crab. The West swells on both days may have been correct, but they were not reaching the launch. Glad we got our fish early on Sunday and were already headed back when the wind picked up. Most of the fish I saw caught over the weekend were on Iron, although a few did come on Greenbacks. I caught fish in 160' to 200'. Here is a little video I shot.

good job on the YT's. All the one's I've caught have had empty bellies. They're hungry!

Nice Yellows Greg and perfect timing to get the hell out of there before the crazy winds.

Greg your videos inspire me. Excellent work. Makes me wanna launch soon.

That ling looked pretty big! Liked the music and the structure :you_rock:

Always a pleasure to watch Greg. That was a nice ling! Looking forward to some rock fishing soon.

Nice job! Those underwater shots are great!

Sick vid GA. Always wondered what those deep reefs looked like

Great video! :cheers1:

Great video! awesome catch.

great video!

Greg, what are you using to film at those depths? I was always afraid that there would not be enough natural light for proper exposure. You always make it look so easy.

As always great catch & video!

Sometimes there is not enough light for good footage, depending on what is in bloom and how much the water has been moving around. I have been out on days where the surface vis was 20+ and the bottom was maybe 5. That makes for some painful reviewing, let me tell you.

Greg,
I usually am in the back ground reading threads. I don't comment much unless I feel a comment is appropriate. That sir is a very well done video! I really liked the structure shots. :you_rock::notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:

Greg,

Nice yellowtails. Especially on your medium rigs!!
Fishing those depths is not only fun, but alot of
work to boot! Thanks for another looks at La Jolla's
bottom. Your videos are just exceptional.

Nice video! The video at depth was awesome! Good size ling as well!

such awesome shots man! :cheers1:

Greg, have you ever thought about putting red filters on your camera?

Those shots of the deep reefs are pretty cool. Thanks for posting the vid. :luxhello:

Red filters are for very clear water only. There are magenta filters for our greener waters, but they also darken the video some. They are fine for bright days with good visibility to about 80 feet or so. But after that, they are going to make your video too dark to see much of the time. So I just learned to live with green video. I might do some more experimenting with them though, cause they do bring back the colors pretty good.

Great video! Thanks for sharing.
I always love the under water shots.
:cheers1:

I dive with amber/yellow lenses and it really brightens up green water.

As always GA, solid performance dude.

Awesome Videos!! what camera did you use for the underwater footage?

Great job Greg, love the video! Sure did way better than us that day. We just started way late and spent way too much time making bait. I hope to have that kind of success the next time down there.

Congrats!
