San Diego Skunk
Launched from Tidewater Park about 7am to a falling tide, headed north with the tide and spent the morning not catching fish, except for some greenbacks. I had a dolphin spend about half an hour with me which probably didn't help the bite but was entertaining. Buddha was fishing with me and never got a bite all morning. I managed to snag some guys line from the fishing dock and mess his morning up, that guy could really cast because I was quite a ways out trolling a mackerel off a dropper. I cut my line and sent his rig back to him whole but I imagine he was upset. Anyway, it was really nice on the water, t-shirt weather. Coronado is a lot busier than Chula Vista, navy seals running back and forth in gunboats, lots of boats on the water but we were the only kayak fisherman I saw and I only saw a couple of skiffs out fishing, I guess everyone else knew what I didn't, the fish weren't biting in the bay today. Then again, who else in the US was out fishing today in a kayak?

I went out in the rain on Saturday morning and I thought I was crazy at first, but it turned out to be pretty fun. Managed a little wsb (my first ever) so it was totally worth it, even though he was a shorty. Found tons of greenbacks for lobster bait, too.
Time on the water is time well spent, even on those slow days! |
The fish are there, you just have to fish it right..

Big Bay
Diawadude could you elaborate on that?

What were you targeting? If you're just trolling a live mac around I cant say Im surprised you weren't bit.
If you're looking for just anything, Id suggest curl tails tipped with squid strips, on 3/4oz lead heads. Fish the drop off transitions down to the channel. Pitch the same to structure, moored boats etc. Also drop shot gulp anything with 1oz weights. You'll get bit. |

I've caught halibut all over sd bay, but majority have been off north island by the heli pads. Naval security seems more lax lately, so I usually get up with 50' of the shore, drop the bait, and head to deeper water while in free spool. Once out 150-200 feet, I'll start the slow retrieve back, continuing the slow retrieve through anything that feels like a but. Halibut will typically drop the bait if you stop. I guess they call it fishing and not catching for the reason you experienced. Keep on and tight lines! |
