Hottest bite at the Jewel!

[bolocop]

I'm sure it's no secret now. The hottest bite is upon us at the Jewel. Get out there! Multiple hookups before 8am today. It's a parking lot out there. Funny no mention of anything here. Everyone must be fishing!

The grade is excellent 18-26# per the dfg guy at the launch.

Go fish!

It's supposed to rain all week. I think my fishing is down for the week.

Actually, it's a fuzzy local slang or colloquialism. You won't find a direct translation of La Jolla to mean "the jewel."

No need for a "Doh!" Your question was a fair one.

La joya means "the jewel." Butt hay, after a few shots of tequila it's close enough, right? Who cares about spelling?

"The origin of "La Jolla" is obscure. Some say it is a corruption of “ahoy”, called out by sailors seeking the attention of people on the shore. Promoters of La Jolla claim it is from the Spanish “la joya”, meaning the jewel.

A more likely though less glamorous theory is that “La Jolla” is a corruption of the Native American word “Woholle”, meaning hole in the mountain, referring to the caves in the north-facing cliffs next to La Jolla Cove Park."

---

As far as fishing and fishermen are concerned, La Jolla is beloved as "The Jewel" -- maybe because of it's rich ecology and bounty from the kelp beds, flats and deep canyons within close proximity to one another. That part makes abundant logical sense.
