Solana Beach and South
If you see that mirage drive in the picture at the bottom in the surf zone......well, you know who the owner is, maybe a couple tackle boxes too!! The landing was tricky!! Last edited by Lipripper92592; 02-10-2014 at 04:01 PM. |

I had a leash on it. But I or the bail broke the leash at the connection point to the drive. Other then that it was a great day. Had a blast! Saw at least 5 whales. And had my yak out in the ocean for the first time. I am almost certain that the drive is under that reef somewhere. Its like $600 for a new drive. So I will be paddling for a few. I still want to go fishing this weekend!!! That is the first picture with my PA in the ocean.

In the future, you can leave your marage in place while surf launching and landing. There should be an elastic band witha plastic hook to attach to the drive keeping the marage fins in the UP position so they don't hit the sand. You can even peddle with the band on till you get past the zone. Sorry about your lost drive

Nice report. There are a ton of halibut that hang out in the Swamii's SMCA!
The Cardiff Pipe used to be known to a few people as "halibut land".... I speared my first butt over 20 lbs there! That said you can not fish with rod and reel from a boat in the Swamii's SMCA.... I could be wrong but I think the regulations for the Swamii's SMCA allow take of pelagic fin fish by speargun only, and fishing by rod and reel from the beach.

Mirage drive
If you or friends have snorkeling gear. I would go snorkeling. That mirage drive is as heavy as a rock. I would think it went pretty much straight down.
Good Luck, I hope you can find it. |

^^ What he said. Snorkeling gear is cheaper than a new drive

I plan on going this weekend to look for it. Also talked to Nomad Adventure. They are going to talk to hobie. Since it was a hobie leash that failed. Not putting much faith in that. But it is cool they offered to try and help. Either way I will be back out soon. On a new drive, that I bought, got warranty action or found the one I lost.
