Dana or Cabrillo 2/15 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hunters Pa · 02-14-2014, 08:50 AM

Looks like I got the kitchen pass and will be able to get on the water tomorrow morning. Anyone else heading out?

Need to get over to West Marine for a new VHF today. Then will be on 71 or 69.

Looks like both barges have chovies - was hoping for sardines. Guess I'll be working the sabiki as well.

Where do you launch at cabrillo? I will be going out on Sunday afternoon for some hooping and Hali
Thinking about DP but never tried cabrillo and it's closer
Thank you for your help!

Would use the boat ramp at either Cabrillo or Dana. Set up in the parking lot and wheel over to the ramp

Don't bother with the chovies, you'll end up with to much bycatch. However, if you decide to get some use them to catch lizard fish, macs or smelt and pins those bad boys on. I am now a fan of the bigger baits(9inches +), I will even use baits that as long as or longer than 12inches. Another option is to head to mouth and looks for balls of bait but be careful, lots of boat traffic comes through Angel Gate. I'm working graveyard tonight so I can't fish tomorrow if not I'm join you guys.............good luck!!!

Let me know if your fishing hooping out of Dana Point. I might want to go. That's my local spot.

Hooping right?

45user · 02-14-2014, 11:47 AM

Thank you!
I'm going out on twilight native sun so planning on going Sunday afternoon
Probably we will head to Dana point as my friend really want to try hoop net before season ends
When is your next outing going to be?

Hunters Pa · 02-14-2014, 11:51 AM

It's hard for me to escape the asylum without setting off the alarms so it is hit & miss. I try to post before going to see who else will be out. I am a novice at Dana and far from an authority at Cabrillo, but always welcome company

We're always fishing Saturday or sunday or sometimes both. Location can vary with weather, time of year, bait situation, launch conditions, current bite, swell...etc..

And of course whether or not Busy Bee is open

We (myself, primosurf & Casey) launched around 6pm last night. Water was pretty calm and the Bugs were crawling!
primosurf and I were there until around 9pm and among three of us we probably caught easy 30-35 bugs but sadly all shorts. Casey stayed back to do more hooping and hope he scored some legals.
I gotta tell you that BWE community is such a great bunch With a big thumbs up for Casey! With my daughter's sport and guest from nor cal, I came pretty unprepared last night but Casey came through and saved the day for me with bait and glow sticks!
Thank you Casey!!!

Casey · 02-18-2014, 06:54 AM

Thanks Brian, That's the nicest thing anyone on BWE.com has said to me. lol. It was fun, hope we can do it again.
