Fishing the PM shift - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

T Bone · 03-13-2010, 01:59 PM

Well. my LaJolla Job finally started.Its at the scripps/UCSD medical center at the 5 and Genesse.I am going to stay local next week and am going to hit the shores after work since the time change is tomorrow I expect it to be light until about 7(I get off at 3)I have a few questions.

1) What is the state of the launch and can we drive onto the beach.with only a few hrs I may take my skiff and cover more ground.

2) What has the bait situation been like at the pier in case I go for hali's (Where are the hali's for that matter)

My kayak is a wheat colored Big Game.Let me know what works from 3-7pm.Thanks.

The beach access was still blocked with the K rail on Thursday. The hole has filled in and it would probably be doable in a 4WD.

There has been lots of bait out around the kelp. Save time, skip the pier and head right to the kelp.

So are you guys just parking in the lot and using your wheels or are we able to drop off in the street close enough to the sand.

The Lifeguards are now telling people not to drive on the beach because you have to go over a curb (the city is worried about liabilities). I would recommend not pushing the issue and carry/use wheels. We do not need them going against us as well. Most of the lifeguards are on our side, we need all the support we can get.

You can park at the end of the street for 15 minutes, but watch for the parking guys, they will cite you if you aren't near by, regardless of time.

I met a few of you guys out there,I came home today had to get with the family.I

the right kind yesterday at 6 PM.Hit like a freight train and got hopelessly tangled in the kelp.To my own fault I didnt have a kelp cutter rig setup.That wont happen again.Its been haunting me ALL day.To the guy coming in with the WSB tuesday in the green revo,that greenie did the trick in 20' water over the canopy...
I will be out again thursday evening.And cant get out next week because my son will be back in the hospital.Hopefully the macs will be more plentiful than smelt.

Hi T-Bone,

That was me in the green revo yesterday. Glad I passed on the lucky macs to ya. Your partner hooked me up with a beer on the happy paddle in and that was the best tasting beverage of the year. Hope to see you out on the water soon.
