LJ Water Temps

[FISH11]

The water temps have been high and hard to believe. Each of the 4 times I have been out to LJ in the last two weeks the temp is higher then the time before. The bad side of that, is also the bait keeps getting harder to find and there appears to be less trophy fish to be found within 3 miles of shore. Yesterday, I managed to get a ton of bait and huge greenbacks at that, by going north to were I could see before light that the bait boat were working. I found them just north/west of the blacks beach canyon. Then I fished Torrey Pines and back south to the kelp by the Cove. Going over part of the Scripps Canyon my meter stopped showing the bottom at 996 feet but the water temp was 80.1 at the surface. No Yellows found, but at least there was lots of bird and Porpoise action. No Hammer Heads seen.
