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

Aaron&Julie · 08-03-2006, 04:45 PM

We did our usual 4:30AM launch just after Arne and Dan headed to the pier. We went to the cans, and made enough bait for the day.
Started working our way to the NW corner. After 2 hours of solid drizzle, with only a bonito for Aaron to show for our wet efforts, we were about ready to just let the West wind drift us in while we soaked baits.
Before we turned around another unknown kayaker just in front of us had a huge swirl on his fly-line. As we watched him set the hook and start his sleigh-ride, we made up our minds to go a little further.
Just as we made our way close to the corner where the half day boats were anchored, Julie hooks into the right kind. Her yellow takes her straight down, finds kelp, then comes unbuttoned. A few minutes later Aaron nails his 1st firecracker. Julie adds a bonito for our smoker. Then Aaron goes on a tear nailing back-to-back, and then his first double, landing both of those too. A 5-pack for him, all around the 10 lb mark. Here's the beach shot:

Met Jasmin on the beach who did well too.

Nice job. They look like quintuplets. Better not post this on some other boards though or you might get lectured. :lol: 8)
Then again, in mexico one dodo = 5 YT so maybe it's all good.

I'll be out tomorrow, but as a member of lambcrew, lookin for paddylamb....

Nice 5 yellows. I am happy for the two of you. I have tomorrow off so I will be there. 4:30 also. I think your'e okay if you post elsewhere because they are not calico bass.

Hey?!?!?

Come on, who keeps a YT when they've got bonita?

:lol:

Personally, I would have stopped after 3 YT and started bass fishing. Calico cheek oysters are a nice side dish for smoked boney. :P

Brad- Your just plain mean :lol: :lol: I'm sure that the sporties are just hammering the Calicos this year since there's no kelp. I personally injoy Juvenile WSB eyes and Abalone taken from inside the reserv
