Now La Jolla is REALLY going to be a zoo this weekend.

[seaquinn]

well, let's see, several said my post would increase the crowds, and I did consider about increasing the crowds at LJ this weekend, but in defense:

1) I said I got wetter on entry than ever before in 15 years, with big waves and big swell

2) I did say, "No YT at La Jolla", none seen at all...

3) I did mention this was a one-off random catch

4) it is memorial day weekend anyway....

so, not feeling too guilty. I think a WSB in general is a lucky grab. My post was to mention the "technique" of 1) jacuzzi and 2) steambath and 3) shower before going out at 9:00 am.

Awesome fish there Cliff. Thank you for the heads ups yesterday. I tried to get out this AM but have too much work to do. Let's try for next week.

As to adding to the crowds this weekend, give me a break, It is a Holiday weekend and most true kayak fisherman will be far away from La Jolla.

This week for you a A week ago for myself a

It is going to be a great year of fishing.

Congratulations again buddy!!!!!!!

And you shouldn't feel guilty. For every naysayer there are 10 that just appreciate a well written TIMELY report. Good job on the ghost bud. Come on people, it's not March.

Just to clarify before people get offended (perhaps I'm too late for this) - my post about La Jolla becoming a zoo was in jest, in case the smileys and congratulations were ignored by those of you who choose to be offended.

There is such a thing as finding haters everywhere because that's what you're looking-for.
Ever buy a new car/watch/whatever and then in the weeks following your oh-so-cool purchase, you start noticing everyone that has the same car/watch/whatever?

La Jolla is going to become a zoo whether he posted this report or-not. Even if his post makes a few people decide they want to fish La Jolla this weekend, they will be a minuscule percentage of the people who are going to be out there anyway.

Blaming big crowds on his post is like telling people not to fart during a tornado because it'll just add to the winds and help blow down that orphanage that has all the one-eyed, one-armed children.

I for one, deeply appreciate these reports, not only for the composition, the pictures, or the hope, but also because I'm sitting in an office most of the time when you guys are out doing what I wish I was doing.

I ever catch something interesting, you guys can be sure it'll be up here before my catch shows up on the dinner table.

Apologies for the threadjack.

I want to know where you get your nails done... kidding.

I too plan between my kids and wife's school/work.sports. Great catch, good on you.

Do your thing(fish reports) when you want to or if you want to, most of us could care less if fish were caught in LJ. I get intel on whats been caught in LJ these last few weeks/months but I am NOT going to drive to LJ just because people are catching yt or wsb. I was invited to fish LJ this Sunday and decided to fish my usual spot this weekend...........THE SEWER.

I haven't been around since the beginning of time but these rants about crowds increasing whenever someone post a timely fish report are bullshit! Matt's same day post about the 50# wsb that he caught last year at County Line is a perfect example. I know for a fact that the crowds at County Line didn't increase one bit, as a matter of fact they got smaller.

Enjoy the fish, cherish the memories and move along.

Now that's how ya do it!
