another day off the point - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Apex · 05-31-2015, 07:56 AM

Got the news that Thursday the jewel was hot. Thought why not roll the dice and make the trip. Since my last trip I landed my PB yellows 23#. I purchased a 2015 hobie outback and would never go back lol. Went 2 for 5, 1st fish went 26# new pb.. 2nd fish went 24#. That yak sure did need a good scubing,I would say it was wide for the better half of the morning.

Looks good, Louis.

I bought an Outback four days ago and I'm practicing around the bays before I head out to the ocean.

When the time comes, where exactly is it off La Jolla that the kayaks go to fish? I know where the launch point is, I can see the underwater topography from Google Earth, but I'm not sure about the destinations relative to kelp beds, depth, etc.

Is dead reckoning easy enough, or do I need a fish-finder with GPS? I'm putting together my checklists now.

Please point me in the right direction.

My reels are wound with 12# and 25# P-Line mono now. What do you recommend for seeking yellowtails from kayaks off La Jolla?

Thanks!
