LJ Kelp today

Dove La Jolla kelp in front of Children's Pool today by 'yak. Had to tell the seal watchers that they were kooks, and to get a day job, but we got to launch despite the seals and their creepy human lovers :poke:

Squid boats were fishing, and so was a zoo of other boats, but the fish were relatively. . . . absent. Warm water on top, cool water below. Lots of big black seabass around following me like puppy dogs when I had a speared fish. Lots of bait around, but it was all just milling about.

Took a couple decent reef fish, and I heard that a donkey yt got nabbed at the outer bed to the South.

Vis. was maybe 20-35'. . . . go get 'em.

nice report...what is it like being in the water w the squid boats?..do they bring a lot of life around them or not really...shrimp trawlers around here are like food buffets for big oredators and I was wondering if it is the same at all

I didn't get closer than about 100 yards, for courtesy to all the kayak fisherman around the squid boats like flies on roadkill. Everything was pretty quiet even with the boats around.
