Slooooooooow at the Jewel

[Geno Machino]

No fish or even a bite this morning.

Bait was easily made. Squid was unproductive, also

Water was cool (57-58) and green.

Launch and landing were as easy as it gets.

Good luck out there.

I will second that and raise you a few Sea Lions. Lots of boats and yaks for a Tues. but did not see any of them hooked up to anything but dogs. Lots of Red Crabs from top to bottom.

[ful-rac]

Yeah that's what they usually say when it's stoopid wide open!!! How many seabass and yellows did you ice today greg?

I was out there as well. Got yelled at by a PB'er for getting too close to his anchor line. I guess folks are cranky when no one is catching! BTW, I wasn't that close, pretty sure he couldn't hit me with an iron (new standard for distance).

Dead out there, didn't see any hookups nor any fish landed.

Bait easy to make and willing to throw themselves at the sabiki but they are the little 6-7" variety.

What happened to the monster fish?

I noticed the bigger baits were biting when trolling the sabiki, or casting and winding pretty quick.

Good question? Where did they go? On your "reports" last week I thought you said there were "plenty to go around" :confused:

Did they swim back to Mexico? Or did they go north to Alaska? I hear they catch yellowtail in Oregon this time of year?

Some big fat meany in a tin boat with a NOAA shirt on kept nose hooking macs and letting them swim at me, must have been a local flexing his muscle..

You mean my report from a month ago? Nope, they didn't go anywhere. Each and every one of them were caught already. Not one YT left in LJ now.

Oh you know he will!

[Harry Hill]

I think I'm just going to fish for panfish until the big fish pick up again. Catch some of those blue gilled kelp perch.

Go hump your fist Driftwood. You saw a few post that backed up what I saw a day after I posted.

If you put down the pipe long enough you will remember my post back in June when I was catching Bluefin 5 miles off Dana Point.

Andy & Yanni went out after seeing my post and scored...

I don't blow smoke up anyone ass and just try to contribute as I am anti code group and like to share info when I encounter a bite as BWE has given me some good intel over the years.

The only thing I would change in my post is the title - I should of said looks like a good day at the jewel - my bad.

#truth Was there on Monday from 1am to 9:30 am Nothing. Some did hook up but very scratchy. :iagree:

For years and years I contributed with fishing reports Tandem assassin. I even spent a ton of time and money fighting the MLPA. I stopped because the kayak fishing sport has gotten HUGE!!!!

Less fishing grounds means bumper to bumper kayaks and boats! BTW, you can catch Yellowtail/WSB almost everyday in La Jolla. There, how is that for fishing report?

Didn't mean to get your panties in a wad. I was just playing around sorry.

If you want to contribute go ahead. who I'm I to say you can't? the choice is yours.

I wonder how many lbs they will stock on the next run. I sure hope there's a good amount to go around for everyone.

[FullFlavorPike]

No fish or even a bite this morning.


My first post here. Been lurking a bit. Lots of good info. Started fishing off my kayak because the diving's not really happening.

I spent the day out there yesterday. Hooked up around 3:30 after scorching in the sun all day. Farmed it like the king of kooks. :doh:

Still, one hell of a nice afternoon on the water.

Let it eat the bait longer, and just wind on it.

I was skunked yesterday. Fished from 0445 to 1330. Had many people ask me how I did and they reported the same results as myself. I did not see any hookups and didn't hear any hooting and hollering.

I did see a small thresher tearing through some bait twice. I considered throwing a fly-lined greenie at it, but I wouldn't kill a baby and certainly wasn't interested in dealing with the release of one. Those little ones can come up to the boat quick and are full of piss and vinegar when they do. I am sure getting one to a kayak would take longer wearing them out some, but I was okay with not finding out.

I spoke with a guy I met on the beach who mentioned seeing a much larger model outside of me.

She got into some rocks and snapped my leader. Didn't get her off the bottom fast enough. She was strong!

[warburto]

Hot and dead. I made the mistake of wearing the waders. I was thinking "it's winter!, I'll stay nice and dry!" and all I did was sweat my balls off. Was wetter getting out of the water than I would have been in trunks.

Does Fisherman's Belly have any recipes for greenbacks?

How deep of water were you fishing when you got bit?

[cell128]

Same thing today. Heard one person hooked up.

Not 100%. No sonar. I'd guess somewhere around 100'

Hey! Nobody's saying it's slow anymore what gives?!

Depends on what day you go and your definition of "slow"

[Geno Machino]

Went yesterday...not one bite.

Pretty much the same for everyone out there.

No boats early, only about 8-10 of us out there.

Couple of boats showed up later in the day.

To me, that's Slooooooow fishing.

Geno

[ccacher1]

Went out 6am - noon Saturday and Sunday and only had one raked bait to show for it. Saw a couple whales on Sunday after the fog cleared. One of them jumped several times and stuck its tail out of the water so that was cool. Anyways point is... it was slow, didn't hear/see anyone hook up.

[roby]

I hooked up twice on Valentine's Day.
