OB Pier Area
Anyone fish the area between the OB Pier and the mouth of Mission Bay? Thinking about heading out there sometime this week. Anyone interested?

Some nice rock piles between the jetty and kelp if you can find em. I've had better luck off MB near the shipwrecks when the dive boats aren't on it.

What would be the typical catch that I would be looking at? Halibut, calicos, topwater fish? Will probably hit it up later this week

Mostly calicos with a mix of sandies last time I was there. Best bet I'd say 3/4 - 2oz leadheads and rubber of your choice.

Personally that's my favorite area to fish. I just don't like doing it alone. I can't head out tomorrow, but we'll hook up and do this one soon.

I went out there last month to try for halibut. I launched from Dana Landing in Mission Bay and out the jetties - I think that is the closest easy bay launch to that destination. It was the first time using my downrigger, which worked well - though nothing to show for it...

I've looked around the area for a good launch from the surf and have not found one.

I wish I was into kayaks back when you guys were "exploring" the possibilities. Imperial Beach launching to get to that kelp just screams at me. I need partners con juevos to check this area out with me. It'd def be stupid to go it alone...until I got comfortable with it...

It's about the same distance paddling from La Jolla Shores to the fishing grounds now.

Its a popular surf spot. I'll leave it at that...
The length of the jetty channel is 1 mile. If you drive to where Roadx suggested its about 1 1/4 miles to the end of the jetty where you can turn the corner. From Dana Landing its about 2 miles. |

I might be going out to the jetty area later this week. I launch out of ventura cove park and paddle out along the jetty. I have been wanting to leave the channel and fish towards the kelp. Normally, I target halibut but I want to go after some of calicos.

you could also launch out of mariners basin, that will add on another .5 miles to your paddle but it has overnight parking and poplular with the hooping crowed.
