Thanks for feedback.
My longer term goal would be to get out to the kelp, but in the short term my reasons for fishing Mission Bay are twofold: 1) I want to eat what I catch (assuming I ever catch anything) and my read is that the PCB levels in SD Bay are significantly higher, and 2) for now I am renting (but that could be overcome, even if it involved renting for the weekend and launching in SD Bay).
That said, I have to double problem of not knowing the best places to fish and not really knowing how to fish effectively for Bay Bass. So it feels like shooting in the dark.
It sounds like plastics are basically the go to tackle in Mission Bay, and I can't claim to have ever caught anything on plastics. I have no freshwater bass background. I have caught undersized Bass from the Mission Bay Jetty, but using bait (can't remember for sure what, probably mussel, but maybe squid), not plastics.
If it would help to learn the techniques for catching Bay Bass in SD Bay, and those skills would be transferable to Mission Bay, that would make sense.
I am interested in taking the OEX kayak fishing class, but it sounds like CJ is really busy right now. The last one scheduled in June happened to be the weekend I was in Alaska. (I'm not complaining, I caught a nice King while I was there).
Anyone who wouldn't mind have a noob tag along, I figure I will learn much faster going out with someone that knows what they are doing, then trying to figure it all out on my own.
