SD bait barge relocation - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I doubt that it would be placed in front of Harbor Island, but there are areas that they can put it so that the sporties can hit it on the way out. However they will have to do a better job of keeping it clean so that it doesn't smell as bad. I'm sure this can all be worked out.

From what I gathered Jimmy it was predominately about flow through the cages to keep the bait its healthiest. The further you go back in the bay the slower the flow, they are adamantly opposed to be further back in the bay than they are now.

I agree totally about keeping the mess down and the smell close to the bigger tourist attraction at Harbor Island.

It's funny the Navy is getting all grumpy about this, that thing has been in that area for as long as I can remember. I remember my dad and I heading out there when I was 7 to get bait, and I'm now 41. So it's been there a long time. It is the best location for it because of the better water flow. Moving it to the back of the bay would really mess up the bait. I think the only choices for them to move it would be where the sport boats come out so that they don't have to do anything but go from the dock, to the barge, to the fishing grounds. Similar to what Mission Bay has. I'm sure they could make it work They may have to make it smaller than it currently is, but I think moving it there would be the best choice.

Want the real scoop on what's happening with the temporary relocation?

Wow, those relocation areas suck, as far as where we launch and fish for halibut in SD bay. Looks like 4 extra miles of paddling, according to their scale, which isn't going to happen for the "chance" our honey hole is producing on any given day.

Looking at the maps again this is really going to suck. Has there been any word on when this will happen?

No official word yet. They guys at the barge were saying around Harbor Island somewhere. That wouldn't be too bad. I could live with it. There's some good Halibut fishing on that side too.
