Fishing tomorrow in Cabrillo... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The Freediver · 08-09-2012, 05:05 PM

I'm going to be fishing and targeting halibut primarily tomorrow at sunrise or so. Is there any launch area for kayaks around there so I can launch without paying and be able to be close to the bait dock at the Northern end of LA harbor?

Also, if anyone is out there tomorrow around the same time and wants to say hi I'm in an orange Ocean Kayak Big Game. I don't normally post like this online since I'm more of a loner when it comes to kayak fishing but thought it would be nice to share reports on the water perhaps and meet some new people. I've been freediving for so long I have been out of the rod and reel scene for the most part but my love for it has come back after pulling on some nice halibut lately. Anybody who wants to stop by and say hi please do. I shouldn't stray too far from the ramp and Angel's Gate since I have to work in the afternoon.

LLaunch from the boat launch, peddle/paddle past the Lane Victory, bait barge will be right past it. Its about 2 miles from the launch to Angels Gate. Watch the wind, the last time I was there a paddler had to get towed back in by the lifeguard boat.

Cool man. I'll look for ya.

As far as the wind goes I know!!! I used to have a few fish and dives back in the day and got almost to the point where I couldn't paddle back.

The only place where you can park for free is on the street just outside the main entrance on the beach side near Point Fermin. I don't know what kind of parking restrictions they have on that street but that's really your only bet. Its not a long walk to the launch sites in the morning but in the afternoon after fighting the winds a 200yard yard may feel like 200miles.

That's what I thought. I just figured I should take my boat with a bait tank and have some comfort if I have to pay to park/launch. Kayak is much faster to load and unload and dont have the towing to deal with.
Kayak it is
