19 MAR 2014 LJ report
 

Well hit LJ today, got into the water around 0630. Made my way out and got bait shortly after crossing the Border. I worked the area out from the condo building around 100-120 ft. I got a couple rock fish and a sculpin. I moved over to this kelp pad that was about 15-20 ft round. I did some Yo-Yo just for practice to figure out how fast to reel. After that I went around the Kelp. Then my fly lined pacific mack takes a hit. I couple of hard taps. At first I thought it was a dog messing with my bait. I reeled up the line and then it got heavy and thats when the fight was on. He took off towards the kelp but I made sure he didn't get in there. This was my second time to LJ. Beginners luck I guess. After that I headed in and was at my truck by 1030.
He came in at 29.5 lbs. Got him weighed at Dana Landing.

Hopefully i have some Luck on my first trip to LJ!:luxhello::luxhello::luxhello:

i have been waiting to see the ghost pop up. :wsb:

Very nice

Great looking fish. Second time out, man that's really good luck. I have been out to LJ about 35 times from July 7, 2013 till Dec. 31, 2013 and have seen WSB on the edges and inside the kelp but could not catch one. I will admit, I didn't target then every time. I was obsessed with trying to get Yellow Tails. Thanks for sharing

Awesome catch. Better luck than me and I been out to LJ 3 times n never had a yellow or white sea bass.

ive been out to la jolla HUNDREDS of times and never caught a seabass

Well I guess it's time to drag my ass out of bed and go try for my own.
Congratulations on your catch and thanks for your report.
:cheers1:

Nice work! :cheers1: Don't sell yourself short man. There may be some luck involved but you were in the right place, time and had the proper presentation. Good job!

Thanks everyone, when I got to this site I was reading a lot to learn about fishing in SoCal waters. I also picked the brains of those BWE members I have met.

Nice job! I must have just missed you. I stopped by there yesterday, and was talking to the guy with the yellow PA. He told me some one came in with a WSB. I thought it might be someone I know. Congratulations.

Very nice, spring is here!

Well done! :you_rock:
I am gonna give it a shot this week end.

Spring Time fever!!! Gotta love it! Great catch bro!

Nice
 

Let's get this :wsb:party started

Nice job, Nick. I must have just missed you. I stopped by there and the guy you saw with the Yellow PA told me someone had just came in with a WSB. I though it might be someone I know. Congratulations.

Enjoy the grinds!

NICE!!!! :luxhello:

Congrats! :cheers1:

Awesome WSB! Spent the day out there, but only 2 rockfish to show for it.. Great day on the water though. Congrats!

I really need to catch a wsb this year.

Congrats...
