Ja Jolla 6-17

Finished teaching last week so I decided to fork out the $70 in gas to get to Lj. :luxhello:Its been so long since I've been out that I forgot what time the sun gets up. I was a little disappointed to see gray light as I was passing through o-side.

Adi saved my a$$ when I got there as I realized that my fully loaded tackle tray was sitting right where I left it...at home. :iamwithstupid:Thanks Adi:you_rock:

Long story short, I got two really good :yt::yt:zings in 140 feet of H2o on flylined macks. They were pornstar size macs, my hooks were 2/0 and I don't think big enough to stick into what was biting them. :farmer:

On an oddity note, I jigged up about 8 squid in 110' of H2o in the early morning. I sent 'em back down hoping for a delicious wsb, but only ended up getting an assortment of misc junk fish. I will go on record as saying that although I did not catch any fish, this will be the beginning of another EPIC bite that I will inevitably miss.:sifone:

Heres some pics of the day if you are bored.

Good seeing you Steveooo.

I got to watch our new kayak fishing guide going out... :) Your boat handled nicely those 2 big ones. The surf wasn't too big yesterday, but it had some bite to it, didn't it.

Bait all over.

No fish tho.

I was reading 65-68 temps.

Thanks for the report.. Surf was definitely up though. I was expecting to see ankle slappers (1-2ft from wetsand.com), but looking at the surfcam the night before I knew I was going to getting wet. I took one to the chest after Jasmin. Nothing but macs for me.. Landed at 0900 to open face 3fters.
