Need a line stretched? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sorry, not a kayak report, but if any of you want to get a line stretched, or even get your kids on some fish, mission bay is full of big bat ray right now. We have killed them the last few nights at various locations. Our biggest was about a 150 lber last night. 25 lb line. 2 hour fight. Broke em off at the rocks

. We'll have the camera tonight!

Maybe I'll give it a shot thursday night.

I know a good place for Bat Action.

Are we talking night as in DARK or night as in evening? I might be interested in tagging along with someone else...

Evening or night? Trick question? Both.

We've been setting up around 6pm and fishing till we get our fix. And a side note, don't use refrozen bait. They will NOT eat it. The best bait/rig has been a 4 oz. weight, a bead, and a 7/0 hook. Weight right down to the hook. Thread on a whole humboldt squid tentacle like a plastic and whip it out there. strips of the mantle has been producing well too, as well as whole frozen or fresh dead market squid, you just might want to scale down a hook size. There's a lot of smoothhounds and leopards around the deeper water near the bridges as well.
