San Diego Harbor Kayak Fishing Tips - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Dwight Schrute · 09-15-2021, 10:21 PM

Although a native Arizonan, I grew up fishing Crystal Pier, LaJolla kelp and Coronado Islands because my grandparents lived in Pacific Beach. My brother now owns a boat slipped at Marriott Marina; I want to take advantage of that with some kayak fishing in the harbor. I would greatly appreciate any tips regarding kayak fishing the harbor. Thus far, I've been using my techniques from boat and pier fishing (except no live bait) without much luck. I've also tried freshwater bass fishing techniques using lures imitating squid and anchovy in addition to cut bait on the bottom in rocky areas. Even if I don't catch much, I love watching the aircraft from North Island NAS (I'm a USAF vet).
BTW, I release everything I catch.
Thanks,
"Dwight"
