Dana Point Monday? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

sanjuancapokayak · 09-29-2013, 01:27 PM

Just wondering if anyone wants to fish D.P. tomorrow from 6am to noon, launching from baby beach at 6 sharp and hitting the bait barge. Sealed my hatches better, gonna experiment with the bait tank ( fishfinder and tank now on, was messing with the wires and somehow it started working

Have a double hook (treblehook on back, reg hook up front, basically gonna go and try my luck around some sand and structure. See if I can get that first hali to "pancake up." ) Can't hardly wait to give this a 2nd go. Gonna leave the bottom plug in the baitank out, turn on once I am about out where I wanna fish at, and take minimal gear with me. Then flip the fishfinder and baitank on with the tank valve , on very low with the baitank plug always left out. Hoping this solves all/most water from entering my yak.

Let me know if ya wanna go with...

Was fishing DP this afternoon. Didn't see a single other kayak fisher, which was the first time I've seen that. Saw two kayak hoopers headed out at around 6:30. Bait barge has no anchovies today, just big sardines. Not much action outside the harbor. Little action inside. Mostly raked baits.

Save those rockfish heads for fresh bait. Can never have enough fresh bait.
