SD Bay Friday - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Mobie Hobie · 03-01-2013, 02:51 PM

Launched at Shelter Island. Two short halibuts this morning before slack tide on chovie. Fished around marker A, shallow rocks, North Island in 40 foot of water. I did not see one other kayak out there. Nice day on water but lots of pedal for nada!

Thanks for the post. Going there tomorrow. After halibut. So they had anchovy and 'dines huh? I usually grab 'dines. Maybe I will try both. Let u know what happens!

does the barge sell small scoops or Kayak scoops (like in Dana Wharf)? curious how much they charge...

Yes they do. In fact my buddy and I split a kayak scoop and found it was plenty of bait. Now I would go with 'dines over anchovies which will lead to not as many baits in you tank, so maybe a full kayak scoop of 'dines, or half of anchovy would be plenty.

I choose 'dines over anchovy for halibut. You may catch fewer fish, but usually bigger. That's just my preference.
