SD bay after work - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sherm · 03-19-2009, 09:28 AM

Buggin season is over so it's time to get back to fishing the bay and LJ. Since daylight savings time is here it's easy to get the yak to the water and get in a couple hours fishin.

I was on the water at 4:30. The original plan was to look for the flat kind....but a thick fog bank hanging right on top of point loma made me not want to cross the bay. There was a lot of activity on the water and I didn't want the fog to roll in and make me a potential speed bump for boaters.

There was no tide movement and the fishing was slow!!! I had to work hard for the fish I did catch. Spotties were the main catch of the day along with a couple good size sculpin. I tried several "go to" areas and the fishing was just slow all over. I even went back to an old favorite plastic of mine (smothered in butter) that started producing some ok bass action.

Finished a good stoagie and enjoyed being on the water even if the fishing was less than stellar.

Fish count:

7 Spotties (nothing big)
2 Turdroller (dinks)
2 Rattlers
1 lizardfish

all fish C&R'ed

I'm digging the day light savings time too! 4:30pm-7:15pm is a nice serene time to put in work on the bay especially after a long work week. The bay will open up soon...
