| Between the rains and all the boat traffic and work around the house I didn't get out until about 2. At that time I just needed to get out. I saw a lot of boats coming back in but on top of that a lot more boats for launching out of bluff Marina. There were boats lined all up and down the medians and on the side streets in every place else. It wasn't even an accident. One woman was towing a trailer after dropping your husband off in the boat and she made the turn too sharp and hooked onto another trailer and they brought her across the road and crashed into a second one. Laguna shores had three trailers stuck together in the middle of it. Anyway I wound up going to the spot where I've been catching them recently and all I got was about a half a dozen 10 to 12 inch trout. Very very slow. Hit several other places and nothing. came back and tried close to the power plant and the water was only about 8 inches of visibility. Don't know why it was so ugly. But anyway like they say the worst day of fishing is better than the best day of doing anything else. |

I have noticed that it is very slow here too. I think the solunar calendar indicates that it should be picking up in the next few days. It might have something to do with the full moon that just passed. My neighbor went to Baffin on Saturday and they got 2 limits of Trout. I don _________________ HighTide

Heavy boat traffic is most always a hindrance to fishing - think of yourself being blasted by a cacophony of 50 stereos - the One next to you at a stoplight is bad enough.
The best kayak days I can think of were always the day before the motors arrived or the after all the motors went home.
(maybe we need a solunar table to account for boat motor activity)
One motor exception I distinctly remember was late evening last Arroyo trip.
The guys across the arroyo at Dos Rios lodge fired up their pontoon boat shuttle to cross to the house next door.
As soon as he fired up the motor, I saw big schoolies blasting across the arroyo from their dock to the cover of our dock.
The next spec I caught was 19 inches, and it happened to finish my limit that night, before packing out the next morning. |
