Planning to head out on my kayak on sunday to target sculpin. Any reccomendations on where to go? La jolla? Jetty in big bay? Mission bay jetty? Never really targeted them so dont really know. Or anybody want to head out with me?

sculpin...now that sounds like a challenge;)

Sculpin I can't help you with, when you start looking for lizardfish let me know

Huh. U have good taste. They r one of the better eating fish. I have caught them in 40 - 60' of water, SD bay. Shelter island, near porpoise/research boats. That's gonna b just north of bait receiver. They like squid and anchovies.

Janine. :cheers1:

Like said above 40-60' I catch more around ballast point, basically any deeper structure but they can also be caught shallow. Anchovies or swimbaits with bright colors and chartreuse or orange lead head.

Thanks guys!! They tasye great. Ive always caught one or 2 as a bycatch when looking for rockfish but never caught them with regularity. Thanks again for the info, looks like ill be heading out to ballast point area on sunday

I'd be interested in joining you. Always up for learning. Haven't tried targeting rockfish or sculpin so if you're ok with a rookie taging along I'm up for it.

Yea youre more than welcome to join but im still semi new to fishing also especially in a kayak.

Semi new is better then completely new..... Wish I could join too.

PM sent

Launching from Shelter Island? I might be interested in tagging along.

its on
 

Hey guys got the PMs I was thinking of heading out of shelter island at about 7 am to catch the outgoing tide. Wouldnt be against leaving earlier if u guys are early risers

Am I reading wrong or does it say sculpin is open in less than 300ft? Im pretty sure I wont be that deep

I read it the same way. It's 120 ft in the Cowcod Conservation Areas.

By the way if anyone shows up ill be the one with an orangish / yellowish tarpon 140. My names Gianni

I should be there. Urban camo x-factor.

Sorry about that! your right, geuss i just look at closed list.

hope you guys get um
