Question about the MPA in La Jolla. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

mattamatta · 03-30-2018, 09:13 AM

I liked FishAlerts for regulations lookup as well (though I've found it to be incomplete e.g. local Sculpin closure wasn't quite right).

I haven't been able to find anything good for quick reg lookup (since going through the DFW PDF is tricky, and even getting to the actual link to the file takes some web surfiing). If anyone finds a good alternative, please let me know.

If we were talking about firearms rather than kayak fishing, Legal Heat is an app that fills that purpose nicely. "50 State guide to Firearm Law" by National Training Solutions, Inc.

I apologize for going off topic a little with this, but some of you might like the information.

Right on!

Between the photo and a little help from google earth I was able to locate the Flag, palm tree, etc. Now, to talk the wife into letting me go tomorrow.

I also google mapped it and it looks like the flag pole/building sight line is off by up to a couple hundred feet if you are closer than about 1/3 mile from the point. It's pretty close though.

I won’t be out there tomorrow, but I’ve heard of different groups planning to head out tomorrow if you’re looking for some on the water guidance. I think some forum members will be there for sure.

All most as good a FishAlerts.
But it is straight from the fish cops

I was remiss in following this thread because I knew the flag pole - palm tree trick, but I missed the FishAlerts thing. I normally use that, but when I went out yesterday, the map was there, but no red zones. I overshot heading out because I couldn't see the flag pole, but used it on the way back in. Lotta good stuff on BWE!
