A red tide in La Jolla is brewing... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Waterâ€™s Edge

THE DARKHORSE · 03-14-2009, 03:01 PM

Just when I was starting to have some
fun with the new jig-stick, the slightest
change in the water temp has brought on
my worst fears. Some spots of tea colored
water through the reserve extending to
the east side of the squid grounds.

Man that really sucks. just when things start to look good and you can make a game plan for a day's fishing mother nature throws a curve ball from hell. O well guess that life

Maybe the water is too cold for a red tide? Maybe not....

Does anyone know the difference between red tide and just some dirty water???? It seems over the past couple of years that any dirty water that flows into our area is labled "red tide" but is it really??? I can't believe that all dirty water is red tide....thoughts???

Dan · 03-15-2009, 07:49 AM

sometimes it's just off color but many times we do get a real red tide with rusty water and glow in the night phosphorescence, usually in the spring there is a bloom once the water hits ~60. Good thing about it in La Jolla is that is is usually patchy because of all the water moving in and out of the area more than other spots---many other areas (like north county) it can just camp out and sit for weeks...

Ya one of the coolest things is to go down to the beach when there is a full on red tide and watch the phosphorescence light up the waves.

Been here for barely a month (if even that long) and his first post to boot.

Johnp · 03-15-2009, 09:29 AM

Tell us Josh, do you think it is possible to catch fish with conditions such as they are.......?

Well, kinda shitty first post...but looked like BS to me. I'm over on Baytubers, you can find some of my posts there. I would like to add a little value on BWE though since I have been fishing LJ more often than usual lately.

Thanks for noticing...

But, it passed with the swift morning current a few minutes after I slid my game clip through her gills.

If it wasn't for the left over "facial hair February" I would have some serious triple chin here

fishchaser25 · 03-15-2009, 01:33 PM

Very nice fish bro. I had a feeling that you were going to pull a rabbit out of a hat.

j mo · 03-15-2009, 01:33 PM

damn!

dorado50 · 03-15-2009, 01:45 PM

Soooo, fish can be caught in "red tide"

Or one can create their own red tide as Josh did......nice
