Glad you didn't lose any gear.


In the future don't put all of your eggs in one basket, fish do not always hang out in the top column of the water. I feel safe saying that at least 50.99% of my YT were caught while bounces lead on the bottom, I believe the deepest I've ever fished and caught a YT was in 150'.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I would like to fish La Jolla possibly this Sat 06/03/2017 or sometime soon however I have never done it before so I wondering if you guys could give me a few pointers

1. Where do I start looking for bait?
2. What areas do I start looking for yellowtail?

I have no clue about what is in the area except for some MPA zone you have to go past so some advice would be helpful... however I do know where to launch

thanks in advance,
