Last minute trip help - La Jolla

[tacmik]

Don't want to put a damper on your plans. But if you cannot find a guide for La Jolla, It will cost you a bunch of money to outfit yourself, a long paddle thru the surf and swells to get to the fishing area and without a guide or fishfinder, you will have a very tough time catching any fish. You first have to make bait by using a sibiki rig (to catch your bait) that could take anywhere frome 15 minutes to 3 hours. Then paddle out further to get to the fishing grounds. Perhaps if you cannot find a guide, you might consider just renting a couple of kayaks and paddle around the cove or rent in mission bay and paddle around out there. Don't know how much experience you have in a yak, but the open ocean probably isn't the best place to go fishing your first time. Good luck and do have fun when you visit.
