Fishing Report 1/17/2011 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

wiredantz · 01-17-2011, 07:52 PM

Spent a few hours in Marina Del Rey, in 50to 60ft a water caught one undersized halibut that's it.

Compared to Newport Beach marina del rey has barely any life left i would paddle for about 20 mins and I barely saw something moving .

I would barely see school of bait in my fish finder with an occasional 27-42inch fish after them. No one took my anchovy baits.

Marina del rey is all polluted brown yucky slim behind the breakwater, i think from now on I am going to fish Malibu or Newport.

I had two lines in the water, and they ended up getting tangled somehow,I was very frustrated because i saw this huge halibut swim by the fish finder and i didn't have any more lines to drop.

everything is still healing from the recent storms, alot of debris in Dana, i'm sure it's all over, especially around harbors and river mouths...it'll clear

I had some good times fishing the mdr breakwater before.TONS of short hali's and lots of pencil barracuda before work,we were working at the Ritz Carlton and couldnt start till 9.That is one hell of a place to try to get home from at 5pm...

Usually people dont meter halibut because they lie flat on the bottom in ambush mode...

You can tell that the fish was 27-42 inches? I think I need a better FF!
