DP 06-28 report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PapaDave · 06-29-2020, 10:24 AM

Weather: Cool, cloudy, some drizzle, fairly breezy with about a one foot chop, no whitecaps though.

Bait: Extra large sardines, fair condition.

Water: Kind of cloudy, dirty. 67.5-69.7 degrees, choppy.

Fishing: Slowish

So I took out my new 360 for it's maiden voyage. Handled the water just fine. And while I didn't think I would use the 360 much that feature ended up being kind of handy. Whenever I got stuck on some rocks instead of having to peddle for a few yards to gain steering traction I was able to just turn on a dime. Trolled for a while with no love. Hit a few spots, again with no love. Finally headed in towards the beach. Two short halibut, short Sandy and my PB Calico later, headed in.

Cool. Thanks for the report. Nice Calico. Was it busy out there?

Nice Calio! Thanks for the report. I went out there Saturday 6/27 on the water at 6:00am and it was the nicest conditions I've seen out there in at least 4-5 weeks. Made bait pretty easily (sardines, anchovies and macs all liked the same sabiki!). Got a decent sandy on the way to the drop 2 miles out. Dragged a hoochie bounce rig with frozen squid on the bottom for a few hours while trolling a greenback. No luck other than constant sand dab bait-thieves... Got an 18" calico on the way in with my last sardine!

I also managed to get out. Nothing good, I did manage a small thresher shark. Baby, but wow what a tail.

Saw much bait perfect sized sardines in 30 ft of water. Capo area.

Jet skis, yes. Fishing, not many at all.
