LJ 3/3

[madscientist]

Launched early and went to the pier...turned out to be a waste of time. One little spanish was it. Found big schools of sardines further out but nothing that would bite the sabiki. Hit up the bad lamb bait barge. One sardine bit and half and a rockfish was my excitement for the day. Dead calm most of the morning. Wind finally turned on at 1:00pm. Like a switch was thrown. I was chatting on the phone and within 15min it went from calm to "I got go" and paddle in against whitecaps.

Was there alot of people out there today? Anyone following you to the floating outhouse?lol

[nmbrinkman]

Thanks for the heads-up on the wind... As I was going out, the wind didn't seem too bad. Then it picks shortly after, then dies for quite a while. Around 4pm, it a blazing headwind all the way to the launch.. what shoulda been 15 min turned into 30-40 min in the ol' FnD. Nothin but a liz fish for me..

Thanks for the report Brad, hopefully I'll get out tommorrow.

[madscientist]

Let's hope this wind settles. Blew off this morning (no pun intended) due to the steady offshore.

Plenty of people out yesterday, nothing but a sculpin for me. Even the boneys that kept popping up in piles did not seem to be biting for anyone. The threat of wind had me worried about a long paddle in with my Saturday work schedule, glad the weatherman got the AM portion wrong.

Wind forcast for the rest of the week... these change dramatically though.. I usually check 2 days prior, then the night prior for accurate predictions...

Hey Brinkman, what are you looking at?

I just triple checked the Torrey Pines wind forecast for Monday, and it's looking like light wind?

I dropped by the launch this morning around 11:00 and the wind was not bad at all at the lauch, swell was minimal. Am I reading something wrong? I got my info from here

[OB Paddler]

Ok, that didn't seem to paste well....but the wind looks to be blowing "W" at about7-8 knots in the morning....

[madscientist]

There's wind forecasts on the internet? :cool:

[nmbrinkman]

Duh! It's for those of us who spend too much time on the internet and not enough time on the water...:pcguru:

[OB Paddler]

Ha-ha....too true


Launched just before 6 am today at Lake La Jolla, no wind, no swell, no clouds....and fishy as can be. Lots of bites, the three B's for me today, Boni's/Berries/Bass, Great time on the water.

I also had the rare chance to paddle back in via the point no waves at all. It's really amazing that we get to fish in such a great place. paddled back to the landing staying about 20 ft or so from land.

Water clarity was great, tons of orange fish swimming around.
