Can anybody report on the red tide at La Jolla?
A bad back kept me off the water this past weekend.

The bioluminescence was everywhere a week ago in MB, but on friday night it was gone from the bay????? The rain???

I will be going out to La Jolla on Tue AM to go fishing which is way more fun than hooping. Anyone need some company and want to show me where the YT are?

was out yesterday didn't see it anywhere, was about 2 1/2 miles off shore very clear and awesome conditions when I got off the water about 12 noon.

PapaDave · 10-10-2011, 11:28 AM

thefisher · 10-10-2011, 11:37 AM

Yeah, if you ever wanted to mark the pipeline, just paddle out between the lines of bouys marking it right now. But I kind of like the traps, they seem to attract fish. In fact, there are bouy that have been set on previously unknown to me rock/kelp locations. I am definately gathering intel.

mtnbykr2 · 10-11-2011, 10:46 AM

Intel...good deal, good idea...

I like it, next trip down there I will stop in and say hi...

Longest Red Tide in hisorty?

The Kid · 10-13-2011, 02:59 PM

Still uber thick

dorado50 · 10-13-2011, 03:24 PM

This past tuesday LJ waters were deep blue,at least 30' vis. Today LJ (north and south) is very,very sick! Worse I've seen in 12 years. Get well soon

Handymansd · 10-13-2011, 10:16 PM

Fish have to eat too, red tide or no... the surface iron and surface trolling are not the only weapons at your disposal... the yo-yo, while a bit early for the season might prove to be a valuable weapon as it works the water column below the algea blooms... I have it on good authority that it has worked in the last three days...

silverbullet · 10-14-2011, 09:32 AM

Did make for a cool light show last night though... watching bait balls chased by seals. Almost like sitting on top of a lightning storm. Could see huge bait balls swarming and rolling off of children's pool last night. Saw threshers and what had to be WSB chasing or running as we peddled through.

Have seen red tide and florescent before but never watched the LJ light show like that!

all fished out at LJ... 1 billion shorts and eels under my seat.

taggermike · 10-14-2011, 10:04 AM

I was out yesterday on a friends boat. The red tide was streaky but covering large areas. Inside was ok and out side was clear and almost blue. I don't know if the RT is some thing to worry too much about because I noticed that it was only a few inches to a foot deep. As our boat drifted it left a wide clear wake behind it with nice water underneith. There was loads of bait and even a spot of chovies getting maulled by birds, dogs, and dolphins. Saw plenty of spots of birds working but no boils and no fish caught for us. Mike
