Any intel on Dana Point or La Jolla Calico Action? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

You would be better off near la jolla. Got a couple good ones off the kelp while yoyo-ing for yellowtail. One close to 5 pounds. I'm sure if was targeting bass yesterday I could have put the hurtin on em.

I fished the reefs in North County on Monday and landed about 15 calico ranging 2-4lbs. Was great action and went through quite a few baits as well.

Thanks for the Intel guys. It definitely sounds like I need to toss some plastics in the kelp a little further south. I've got the LB breakwall near me but I think La Jolla sounds like the place to be. I'm going to try to shoot down there Monday morning.

I have always done better off point loma (maybe that's because I never fish for them in la Jolla

). Go the the lab, green tanks, etc. Tie off to a stringer, or just tuck under your leg, and drop a 5" in the thick bushes all the way to the bottom. No bites, move 10' and repeat until you find 'em. Be sure to pay attention to what depth they are at. Fun way to fish the kelp in a kayak.
