After work Big Bay Fun 8-27-09 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sherm · 08-28-2009, 01:06 PM

Fished with my wingman Spyder after work. The tide was rippin and the fishing was good. The fish weren't big but on six lb test you can't tell. Fun when we bothhad flatties going at the same time. It was hard to get a cigar smoked out there because of the constant action. I managed though. The bottom rig seemed to get more action last night. More than the casting rig. You never can tell. Spotties were everywhere.

Conditions were awesome last night. The wind stopped blowing and the water galssed off. It made for some very good drifts with the outgoing tide and and a nice paddle back to the launch as it slacked. I tried to get a good picture shortly after sunset. Couldn't hold the camera still enough for a good shot. The one attached does not do the late sunset justice. The sun on the buildings with the rest of the sky being dark is very cool. San Diego......what a terrible place to be.

Bug season soon bro. Let's get em.

Fish Count:

21 Spotties
3 Sand Bass
2 Flatties (19 and 21 inch)
4 lizard fish

All C&R and all on Gulp

Met up with Sherm at about 4:30 at SI. Tide was at it's high peak and just starting to go out. Launched and headed over to our 1st spot. Spotties were HUNGRY

last night. Pretty much whatever we threw at them they ate. Drifted down aways and near a good drop off. Caught a few almost legal flatties. There seemed to be quite a few in the area as both Scott and I were hooked up on them at the same time. Kept trying for a big Mama or Poppa but only kept getting the juvies

.

Headed back in just as dustkwas over and dark was setting in. I probably C&R'ed close to 20 spotties and a couple of just short flatties. Fish caught using misc. plastics smothered in Uni butter & Gulp swimming mullet.

A very relaxing evening of feeshin and chilling with the wingman

.

Peace,

Spyder

It should be a nice day out there. Good luck. Hopefully you are there when the tide is flowing.
