Elusive Legals - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

blackcloud9 · 10-23-2011, 08:26 PM

Saturday launched for some solo kayak hooping the shallows from 7 pm to
2 am off south La Jolla in foggy conditions, and didn't keep any bugs. The
two barely, barely legals in this net went back into the water. Its been
tough bugging for me - I feel like packing the gear away until the next
warm-water year.

Vermillion rockfish carcass in the baitcage, from my limit last weekend. At
least the rockfish seem to want to bite.

I get one trip a weekend, and usually struggle deciding between going
fishing and going hooping!

Heavy Hoop - notice the gps under the net, it was "instruments only" navigation out there.

Monster Eel - the clear water surface bump made for some wierd effects! This thing was 10 lbs!

Rockfish from 10/16
