San Diego Skunk
Launched from Tidewater Park about 7am to a falling tide, headed north with the tide and spent the morning not catching fish, except for some greenbacks. I had a dolphin spend about half an hour with me which probably didn't help the bite but was entertaining. Buddha was fishing with me and never got a bite all morning. I managed to snag some guys line from the fishing dock and mess his morning up, that guy could really cast because I was quite a ways out trolling a mackerel off a dropper. I cut my line and sent his rig back to him whole but I imagine he was upset. Anyway, it was really nice on the water, t-shirt weather. Coronado is a lot busier than Chula Vista, navy seals running back and forth in gunboats, lots of boats on the water but we were the only kayak fisherman I saw and I only saw a couple of skiffs out fishing, I guess everyone else knew what I didn't, the fish weren't biting in the bay today. Then again, who else in the US was out fishing today in a kayak?

I went out in the rain on Saturday morning and I thought I was crazy at first, but it turned out to be pretty fun. Managed a little wsb (my first ever) so it was totally worth it, even though he was a shorty. Found tons of greenbacks for lobster bait, too.
Time on the water is time well spent, even on those slow days! |

What were you targeting? If you're just trolling a live mac around I cant say Im surprised you weren't bit.
If you're looking for just anything, Id suggest curl tails tipped with squid strips, on 3/4oz lead heads. Fish the drop off transitions down to the channel. Pitch the same to structure, moored boats etc. Also drop shot gulp anything with 1oz weights. You'll get bit. |

Totally possible. What rig were you using on the mack? Weighted/three way I assume right? I've only caught hali's on a three way swivel weight on the bottom. Trolling, slow crank, or just drifting on a good tidal swing.
