The bait at LJ has been hard to come by. The anglers at LJ are a secretive bunch, band together and don't share too much info because they feel you are using this site to circumvent hard work and time on the water. No hand outs, you have to earn it, sound familiar?

Bait moves around. Here are some tips; talk to people on the beach. Watch where people go after they launch. Keep your head on a swivel and look at the water surface for clues and learn sonar returns to identify bait.

Good luck. I could just tell you where to go but if the bait moves on you won't know what to do then.

Fishing has always been secretive nothing new here. If you have bait you have a better chance at fish( not a guarantee ), summer bait and winter bait are in two totally different places and yes time on the water will eventually give you the knowledge of the LJ fishery.

Just an FYI, the surface bite is going to be almost non-existent from here till next spring. Might want to add a few yoyo's to your arsenal.

Almost is the key word.... the best surface iron bites I've been a part of off La Jolla occurred during the winter months.... and lasted months.
