First Post-La Jolla report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Nice to hear yakkers willing to stick together and lend a hand. I was in the same predicament over a month ago and a fellow taker in a grey tundra and a few other yakkers already ready to launch also helped me out. I bought a tow strap the next day in case I need to lend a hand.

I was at la jolla this past saturday also and conditions are ready starting to liven up. Bait everywhere, water temp an optimal 73-75 degrees,. Had a few hard, short bites and one clicker screamer that felt like a yellow but tried to set the hook on a circle hook. Farmers mistake.

Picked up a few more spots that seemed prime yellowtail spots before I went to my failproof rockfish spot.

Didnt get any yellows this time but next week might be different. Ended up with my personal best rockfish.....20".....2.1 lbs. I thought by the girth that it had to be at least 4 lbs. The eyes might tell a fisherman's tale, but the scale reveals the truth
