Oceanside Artificial Reef Saturday - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I wasn't trying to imply the purchase was a waste, just out on the open water in rough conditions it might not be a good idea.

Good tips all. I am not sure I would consider the conditions to be rough. If I intended to drift fish, there would be no problems at all. The real problem I was contending with was that in this case I really didnt want to drift. So, when I say it was a rough day, I meant in the context that it was difficult for me to fish how I wanted.

Returning to the harbor and fishing there was really not an option. They are dredging the harbor, so everything there is seriously jacked up. Hopefully things stabilize and return to normal.

I think my next trip or two will be out of LJ. Cruise around hunting YT for a bit, then perhaps head to the kelp for a while.

How far out is the kelp? And does anyone know how deep the top of the canopies are? Any info is greatly appreciated...

La Jolla kelp was touching the surface a few weeks ago. However there is a lot of kelp you can see on your sonar. The beds I found were not far north west of the point.

I wasn't trying to imply that you were implying that it was a wasted purchase.
