Mission Bay
A buddy and I were thinking of making the trip down there on Sunday to see what all this bug activity is about. He snorkeled it a couple years ago and got a bunch. We were thinking of launching at Mariner's Basin. Is that area good for parking and launching? I see parking areas and a nice sandy beach, but don't know if there are times that you can't be there or it is the hotspot that requires a two week notice to obtain parking?
Are there areas closed to hooping and snorkeling? I will probably man the nets while he is diving but if it looks good, I'll jump in too. Not to poach spots or start any heartburn, just wondering if there are decent spots other than the little bit I see online? Appreciate the info so far, just need dialed in a little more. |

K, the jetty holds its share of bugs. Free divers, scuba and hoopers all hit it regularly but if you're the first one in an area, your chances will increase. Hoopers can definitely get fk'd over by divers working the same stretch of rocks. Frustrating but not much you can do about it except throw bricks or drop jigs with sharp treble hooks on top of them. Sunday night will not be as crowded as F or Sat. Mariners Cove parking lot closes at 10pm(?) but it's free and usually has spaces available to park. The lot directly across the st from the roller coaster is open 24/7 but there will be a short walk to the jetty required. Another option for the hoopers is to drop their traps randomly throughout the bay looking for crawlers but that can be hit or miss...good luck. Jim
