Check out the launch!
 

I have never been to the launch when its raining. Never knew this is what it turned into!:kayak-surfer:

By the way, the barrier fell thrity seconds before I snapped this! Anyone else catch that?

Here's what I saw when I landed:

The launch is taking a heavy hit. I paddled out this morning and this is what I found when I
landed...

The Launch around 10am Nov. 30, 2007

how did you get the yak across the divide????:eek: Should someone call the army corp of eng. in order to restore by sat am.launch. should be good fishing this weekend....................

I backed my car into the chasm and just paddled right onto the racks. lol

I watched you haul your kayak out wavster. I can't go out in the rain because I'll melt so I set here and hit the refresh button and watch the launch area wash away. Thanks for the pictures. The news is getting all scary about the hills of La Jolla washing away. Hope that doesn't happen.

I'm more worried about the hills along the Del Dios. All the vegetation is gone,
now the land is exposed. At least in LJ, there's vegetation on the hillside.

Wow- big brother only shows the mild part of the scene!

What neither pictures or video can portray, is the smell of that water. I'm
thinking a sewage line ruptured or just backed up. It really smelled awful.

Anyone going in the water in the next couple of days out to be very careful
about water contact.

a few questions....
 

There is an incredible amount of sewage and pollution spilling into our ocean right now. Could that make fish caught right now unsafe to eat? Or in the cases like a bay, does a fish have to live in polluted water for an extended period of time before it becomes toxic?

Also, will the pollution and sewage runoff from a storm cause the fish to leave an area?


Thanks for your thoughts!

This is one of man's way to pollute the ocean,one of natures way is by red tide. What, fish leave the area.......... hell they've already left.note catch reports..........

Well the ample bait and twenty-five feet of visibility with no current have created a virtual ghost-town. I think most would attest this to be true. Maybe a river of runoff and a little poo will chum some fish into our zone.what kind of fish is another story.
:puke:

I think the chumed up fish are called brown troutlol

And the rebuilding begins......

a little later on...

ok now
 

I went out into the wind today. Easy bait every where,
but didnt meter much fish, or see any good bird action.
Came in right before dark. The launch is good to go.
Surf was starting to build but still easy.

Take a look at the webcam again.
Looks like all of that hard work has gone for nothing.:mad:

Actually, I think that's what those berms were intended to do. In the winter,
many beaches will put up berms because the winter storms move the sand
around.

A few years ago (it may be ongoing), Scripps or UCSD was doing a study at
LJ Shores and Blacks about the migrating sand. There were indicators put into
the sand and there are (were) several cameras pointing onto the beaches.

heard the surf is going to be massive due to a North swell- always remember when you go out the surf may be small but it may be a different story when you land

thanks for the update on the conditions
