La jolla help! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Next weekend is my birthday and my dad and I wanna go out to la jolla and catch some yellowtail. Where do you go once you launch? and any equipment recommendations would be awesome! Thank you!

I recommend a half day boat

If its a weekend you should see enough fellow kayakers out there demonstrating their techniques. La Jolla is a dynamic fishery to say the least. If you get skunked, know that most of them did too

. Time on the water is the best advice I can give and doing it with your pops on your birthday sounds great. Have fun!

Maybe a full day for the YT. And who knows even then, probably 20% of the guys on the boat catch 80% of the fish.

They are everywhere out there from Torrey Pines to the northwest corner. Bait has been hard to find but usually some by the pier. Here is an article to check out. They seem to be deeper in this warm water.
