Thanks, Ya it does. I was thinking about it and googling La Jolla and reading more. Im just going to start going once a week, The fish i am targeting are wsb and Yt. As well i was watching everyone and the gear everyone is using, i need bigger rods, the most i have is 20lb test. resarching different types of rigs. I just am impatient right now i guess, over excited and really want to hook up. But thats why they call it fishing and not catching right.

The best answer is ... spending time on the water .....
There is also some great information in these forums..... It took me one year on the water, and yesterday it paid off |

Just be patient! Go fishing! Preferably during the week when the crowds are lighter. Don't expect to catch a yellowtail or seabass right away, although it does happen from time to time for first timers and newbees, but in my opinion it's not the norm. Make sure you have all the right gear, so when you do hook that fish you don't end up losing it because of tackle failure. I'm sure that when everyones
fishing they are not trying to be rude but just trying to catch a fish like you, and when the bite is on Im sure that nobody wants to give an on the water seminar for you or for anybody. On the water is not the best place to start asking questions about where how and why, that's what BWE is for, and what josh is for....if you pay him! Work your way up to catching a yt or seabass, learn everything you can. You can't be as successful without learning how to make your own bait, so start there. Relax take a deep breath! Have Patience! Don't give up!

My first 10 trips to La Jolla Resulted in little more then bait if that! Time on the water ,watching others, trying differnt tactics tell you find what works! Getting bait in the water and waiting is a good way to start. Good luck

I was out yesterday and the only YT I saw was caught off a boat. I don't know where you got your info. If you have any questions about this sport you should start by reading everything on this site. It's all here.

"what is the trick for fishing LJ"? Gotta love it. I've been fishing LJ for almost 40 years, 14 on the yak, and I have yet to find a trick. Use the search function, spend time on the water, evidently learn how to handle the surf, get comfortable on your yak, maybe start in the bays, and ask more focused questions.
You don't have to spend a bunch of cash up front. This time of year most fish get caught on live bait near the surface. Maybe a 20 and 40 lb outfit, a few sibikis, 3 sizes of hooks, and you're mostly set. A powered bait tank is nice but you can start with a plano bucket or a bait tube. Catch live bait and slow troll around. You'll learn what to look for as far as birds, bait fish, other boats ect, but the whole time you're trolling a live bait you're in the game. I caught my first LJ kayak YT in the rain on a live jack smelt. Mike |
