Limits Reds and Krill - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

blackcloud9 · 03-05-2011, 04:30 PM

The reds bit well on the regular spots today, 150 -170'. Tons of krill,
feeding birds and mackerel out there too.

The current was absolutely ripping out of the north, it was an upwind, and
upcurrent struggle just to get back in to Big Rock. Not much of an issue
with the pedal drive though.

Saw some other kayakers - way out there - battling the current to get back
toward Shores (like 5 miles upcurrent?), just a word of warning if you are
fishing tomorrow.

Nice, cant wait to get some time out there

rooster707 · 03-05-2011, 06:24 PM

thats a good looking limit. i hope to get back out there soon.

Regor · 03-05-2011, 06:29 PM

Nice!

What a difference a day makes. I was out yesterday, and granted im not real familiar with the "spots", but I came in empty handed.

Out of 5 yaks on the beach, only 1 came back with any reds and they were pretty small.

Thats sweet i so cant wait to go fishing for rockfish.

blackcloud9 · 03-05-2011, 07:27 PM

Thanks guys, these things are FUN on bass tackle and 3 oz heads.

Well today was a perfect day for ocean kayak fishing, finally, its
been rough with all the weekend weather lately. I have been fishing
trout at Jennings, for seven limits in a row, like

Tomorrow's conditions are looking spectacular again for kayaks, small
swell and light winds all morning. I will be launching very early.

Here is a rockfishing video I made in November from out here ->

Very nice post Larry. Loved the Bocaccio video. After a couple more Halibut I'll have to go get me some of these.

Nice Larry!!!

Current was strong the whole day, but it was RIPPIN' early yesterday. We were commenting how we've never seen it rolling down so hard. The big boat was drifting almost 2 MPh at one point, no wind.

JoeBeck · 03-06-2011, 08:22 PM

Nice Reds Larry, I'll have to get back out there with you again. Love that launch spot. Miramar trout fishing has been good too, although I have not gotten out that many times this year.

Krill Video -
Shot some video of the volumes of krill, tons of sardines and mackerel feeding on them:

Tasty Limit Larry!

Ya, they were still very thick out there yesterday. There was so much bait in the water it was unreal. Gross little buggers.

Easy RF limit in about an hour, then someone turned off the switch. Current was still ripping.

Nice report - thanks for posting.

THE DARKHORSE · 03-08-2011, 12:27 AM
