DP Report: 1/9 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Salty · 01-10-2022, 02:36 PM

Know there haven't been a lot of reports lately, so here's a quick one from yesterday. Launched Baby Beach at 5:30 AM. Air temp- 38. Water temp- 55-57. Gusty morning offshores made it extra chilly before the sun came up. Bait was a mix of healthy sardines/anchovies. Fished South of the harbor in the morning, making my way NW to the outer sewer pipe and making a few drifts with heavier lead along the deeper canyon at 100-120'. Fishing wasn't great. Just a few Calico with one that was decent size- 17.5". Tube baits had a lot of bites around the kelp, but nothing stuck. Deeper water held a lot of sandies last weekend, but nothing this time. Wind picked up at around noon and the battery on my livewell died, so I called it a day. Still a nice day on the water. The sunrise alone made up for the lack of fish at least.
