I think LJ has more YTs, and probably everything else. What I don't like about LJ is the sand, the surf launch/land, and the number of people. I'm not anti-social, but I am selectively social, and there's just too many people there.
I'm going on my 6th year of kayak fishing, and have only been to LJ about 10 times. Out of MB it's a longer paddle (more exercise), and the mouth of the bay can be as challenging as the surf. There's not as many fish, but I seldom go home without dinner. I have caught 4 BSB, a 35# sevengill, 35# Mako, 18# Hali, and helped someone catch a 30# ghost. Those are a lot of fun, but for dinner I am always happy with rockfish, sheephead, ling cod, whitefish, etc.
That YT was a complete surprise since I was bottom fishing with shrimp and squid. Turned out the YT had 2 sardines in its belly, but I have had a very difficult time catching bait for a month.
Even though I am selectively social, I look forward to seeing you again out there.

That's always my first stop. It used to be pretty reliable, but not recently....maybe I'm not holding my mouth right.

Nice fish. Im with you on the LJ thing. It gets packed when landing and dealing with that traffic (pedestrians and vehicles) on a Saturday afternoon is a nightmare. Tight Lines
