La Jolla Red Tide - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Fished (more like paddled around) today. Red Tide was really bad pretty much everywhere I went. From the pier to the kelp and all over the canyon. 3" visibility might be a stretch in most areas. Lots of bait (mostly Sardines) popping at the surface, but they could not find the Sabiki with a seeing eye dog. Dropped the camera down a couple places and got no more than 10' down before losing all light. If you have to go, I would recommend glow setups and maybe squid strips for the sabiki. Launching in the dark with the bioluminescence and landing in what looked like the water from a mud bog contest were the highlights.
