OK...I'll share
 

This is a Kayak Fishing Report from La Jolla on 8/24.

Launched early from the shores to moonlight. Awesome conditions through the day with mild breeze and calm seas. Water was 70-degrees and rose to 73 by mid-morning. Almost no waves upon launch or landing.

I initially made my way to the squid grounds for two or three quick drifts and gave up after catching none. I think we caught them all last week. Next, I headed straight out to about 190-feet where I found bait balls and could see occasional boils happening in the distance. Glad I put the heavier sabiki on as four mega-macks at once are almost impossible to reel up.

Trolling the macks yielded nothing and I could not reach most of the boils before they would disappear. The North to South current was ripping in this area too. At 9AM +/- I got lucky and a boil erupted about 15-yards in front of me. I tossed an iron into the mix that immediately connected upon splash-down.


I love that tail!

A bit blurry but here is the blue moon lit trek though the reserve.

Fish were taken for food in the production of this report!

Enjoy,

Nice Yellowtail, congrats. Sometimes you get rewarded for the time on the water.

Thanks for sharing your report, and congratulations! :yt:

Nice report and nice fish! Thanks for sharing the report. Had the day off yesterday and was originally planning to hit LJ too. But my buddy called and wanted to take the boat out, so we went hunting for colorful paddy critters instead. Looks like you found some yellow much closer to shore!

Nice work! I need to get me a YT off the yak.

👍🏻 Look at the motor on that thing! 💪🏻

thanks for the rare Yak report. What happen to all the yakkers?

Congrats on the yellowtail, and on the iron too!

Looks like a nice day. that guy sure did have a motor on him! Nice one!
