Red Tide is thick
 

I fished LJ on the skiff today, the Red Tide is thick. This was worse than last week.

The water was mud brown all the way from S. La Jolla to the NW corner, and out to 220 ft. of water.

All I could find was this little guy, far away from LJ.
A quick pic, hook removal and successful release.
The rest of the fish have left town - for now.

could you tell how it was north of the peir? Giving me second thoughts:confused:

Thanks for the info Billy. Guess I will have to stay up north on Sun.

I headed North for a while and found a little bit of clean water, but by 2 PM it was turning brown as well.

On the way home to Dana Landing Launch I tried South LJ again but it was still bad water.
---------------------------
The schools of bait were absent today. I found some directly in the kelp, and a small school up north, but it was scarce.

Thanks Billy for the timely report. I was hoping you use your oven today to bake fresh fish. I'm glad it works good Job!!

Too bad we cannot keep them, I've heard they are good for eating, very tasty.

bet it had ya going for the first run!

Anything that sits around all day long sucking up :lobster:lobsters is bound to taste good,too bad that they grow so slow .Now if they grew as fast as dorado we all be in business .Good job on the C&R

talk to the divers, usually red tide only in the upper column...................fish below it.

The red tide was terrible yesterday. Could not find any blue water except for in the reserve. Paddled to about 375 ft at nw corner and couldn't find any clean water. Talked to a diver who said it sucked too.

It sure did ..lol

I was completely on the bottom slow drifting the sand in "the halibut spot" with a 6" greenie.

A complete up and down fight - You just never know what will come up.

water is clearing up over here

Water still horrible here in WindanSea area at least out to the kelp.

Surfed scripps at the glass-off. Full on red tide.

what type of conditions does it take to clear out the red tide?

loads of current and wind and water temp reaching a certain temp idk wat that is but it burns off typically a month after it depends on conditions.

Billy i bet that thing dragged the skiff hard

Today (Saturday) I paddled from LJ Shores to Pt. Loma lighthouse (and back).
The ride tide extends all the way south within 1/2 mile from shore. On the
outside, it's a bit cleaner.

Red tide
 

Any updates on the red-tide today?

Its still in LJ and extends a good ways out to deep water.
There is also dirty water north of scripps.

These are the conditions as of 5 pm

Thanks Billy - Looks like Newport or Dana tomorrow.
