What and or where is the closest launch spot to the bait receiver. I think the bait receiver is by seaforth landing. Please correct if I'm wrong.

Idk if you're allowed to launch off of it or not but I've seen kayakers launch off of the dock by the life gaurd station

The bait receiver is located in Quivira Basin. If you look up Mission Bay on google maps you will be able to check it out along with places you can launch from. I am not sure if you are allowed to launch from the lifeguard area or not but I do know you can launch from Dana Landing, which isn't a very far paddle to the bait barge. I personally like launching from Ventura Cove behind the Bahia Hotel.

You can launch from the park that is just across the channel. You go to Mission Beach and hang a left till you run into the Jetty and then another left into the parking lot. I think the hours are from 4am till 10pm.

How much is parking at Dana landing and at the park across the channel? Is there alot of traffic trying to cross the channel?

Parking at Dana Landing and at the parks throughout Mission Bay are free. The channel usually doesn't get very busy.
