I hadn't fished LJ in a year and a half. Two bad shoulders made a a surf wipeout a scarey proposition. Lots of glucosamine and chondroiten stopped the grinding and the feeling that they were going to pop out of joint.
We're staying at the La Jolla beach hotel in an ocean view room. Launched at a little after 6 and remembered how to time the sets. Got out dry. Went out to 80' depth and caught a couple of olive rock fish and released them. Paddled around for a while and released a few more rock fish. Went or towards some powerboats and decide to toss a mint and white tady 45 around. After a dozen casts the water is full of flying baitfish. I threw the jig past them and as it came near them I was onto my first yellow. It stayed near the surface and I saw other fish around it. It was log barricuda trying to take the jig from the yellow. Then it happened...... A barricuda cut the line at the jig. It was fun while it lasted. I tied on a white and dorado colored jig and caught and released two log sized cudas. We're here tomorrow as well. I'll keep trying...........
