Mission bay Campland

Heading to campland this weekend. I;ve never fish here before.
Anything biting or any species in this area? Also how far is the peddle out to
open water? Is there any kelp bed near? What is your recommendation.
I'll be taking my PA14.

Thanks

Campland is way in the back of Mission Bay. There should be spotted bay bass around and maybe halibut and a few covina. It is a long way from camp land to open water. If you want to fish in the ocean and kelp beds you'd need to drive up to LA Jolla or at least closer to the mouth of mission bay. Mike

If you know how to pump shrimp the spotfin bite is pretty good now.

There are a lot of swimming critters in Mission Bay, but I've found they're a little more skittish/cautious than their open-ocean pals. I think it's the constant motor noise/activity in a relatively shallow environment.

There are spotted bass everywhere, halibut around the grass perimeters, bat rays, and an occasional nurse shark. My friend and I even caught some juvenile (about 2') Barracuda under the Northern Ingraham Street bridge. It was the weirdest thing to find a pelagic species hiding under a bridge like a bass. We were throwing plastics and rattle traps.

If you want open ocean, it's about a 30-45 minute peddle out depending on how fast you-are and how much high-speed traffic you need to dodge while passing through the "unlimited speed" zone.

Once you get outside, there are kelp beds to the north and to the south. I would recommend going south.

Good Luck!
