Just when I was starting to have some
fun with the new jig-stick, the slightest
change in the water temp has brought on
my worst fears. Some spots of tea colored
water through the reserve extending to
the east side of the squid grounds.

Man that really sucks. just when things start to look good and you can make a game plan for a day's fishing mother nature throws a curve ball from hell. O well guess that life

Maybe the water is too cold for a red tide? Maybe not....

Does anyone know the difference between red tide and just some dirty water???? It seems over the past couple of years that any dirty water that flows into our area is labled "red tide" but is it really??? I can't believe that all dirty water is red tide....thoughts???

sometimes it's just off color but many times we do get a real red tide with rusty water and glow in the night phosphorescence, usually in the spring there is a bloom once the water hits ~60. Good thing about it in La Jolla is that is is usually patchy because of all the water moving in and out of the area more than other spots---many other areas (like north county) it can just camp out and sit for weeks...

Ya one of the coolest things is to go down to the beach when there is a full on red tide and watch the phosphorescence light up the waves.

Well, kinda shitty first post...but looked like BS to me. I'm over on Baytubers, you can find some of my posts there. I would like to add a little value on BWE though since I have been fishing LJ more often than usual lately.

Thanks for noticing...

But, it passed with the swift morning current a few minutes after I slid my game clip through her gills.

If it wasn't for the left over "facial hair February" I would have some serious triple chin here :).

Josh, after seeing that there were two pages of dialog about red tide I knew something was amiss. I only hope your triple chin fish is a preview of what the rest of us will soon enjoy. Good work in the kelp. :wsb:

My vote is for a new face. It looks like this :arne1: but it is a horse's face... perhaps dark in color... and it says "Josh" instead of Arne. Can Mr. Administrator arrange that for me, please? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Making my first trip to LJ this friday. I'll use this to inspire me for the long drive from OC. Thanks!

It's one thing to catch a fish that can cause a "Bloody Deck"
But it takes a special kind of fish to create a "Red Tide"

Congrats Josh

Nice one Josh!

Some good signs out there this weekend. I caught a little one on a plastic at the kelp line on Sunday - exactly 28 inches - released carefully to grow at least another inch :o. No picture, I felt bad enough that I Boga gripped it to measure. Pretty fun tussle on the light bass gear though!

(Got some reds and sculpin fishing deep plastics 120 to 160'. Didn't catch any live bait, didn't bring wsb bait. BTW Decent calicos and halibut off the beach lately, see photo album)
