Gill nets were banned about 1990. There is lots of info if you google it. This group was largely responsible for making it happen.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...e_Conservation. A very close friend of mine was involved and I am proud to say he was largely responsible for what you catch in La Jolla today. Prior to this event catches of large Yellowtail, Halibut and WSB as well as BSB were virtually non existent as the gill nets wrapped everything coming up the beach. As an old time L.J. local who has been launching skiffs off the beach for 40 years I can tell you the catching of the above species is significantly better now than 20+ years ago. The eco system in La Jolla is small. Tread lightly and savor its brilliance.
