C Bad 11-14 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Jeremiah Thomas · 11-14-2009, 06:59 PM

Headed out this am with my main wingman Morgan to try to see if we could scare up a few spotties. Normally we fish for big game but today we played it close to home. It was a perfect way to spend our morning.

We decided to do a couple drifts under the bridge and got a few nice bumps, but couldnt stick anything. The current was ripping though and we had a blast anyway!

I have been told that you have to buy a special permit, ($15 a day?) from the City of Carlsbad to launch a kayak in that lagoon. Is this true?

I have some great photos of my two daughters just checking out the sights in Newport upper bay with fishing poles in hand. Maybe we can start up a kids gone fishing post for nothing but kids.

Nice pics by the way! Fishing with your kids is a good day, fish or no fish!

Debbie downer says they are going to ban fishing in the whole lagoon anyway.Heard it was all ready passed.

Ah, memories. We used to run our wood boat over the log boom and out into the ocean there. The sandbars on the south side of the back lagoon is where we caught ghost shrimp for bait. At slack tide we used to dive for halibut under the railroad bridge.
Speaking of Debbie Downer, right off the boat launch is where somebody dumped that aquarium seaweed that is decimating the Mediterranean Sea a few years back; they had to use chlorine to kill it. Also; Debbie does work for the City of Carlsbad; pretty sure you need some kind of permit for the back bay. I've had my license checked by F&G there a few times.
