El Capitan and Mission Bay, 4-2-15 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Kayak_Bernie · 04-03-2015, 02:28 PM

I went out to MB yesterday afternoon around 4:30 the wind died down quite a bit and the incoming tide was moving the water around. Low tide was around 3:30 , that may have made things a bit more difficult along with the wind. We managed to catch a bunch. I got 12-15 spotties (lost count of the little guys) with 3 over 14" , lots of aggressive bites, missed a bunch. I caught them on a Z-man redfish spinnerbait with a new penny colored swimbait and an Owner underspin with a pearl 4" grub. I was using Pro-Cures Calico Cocktail for flavor We were between Ventura cove and Vacation Island. Next time you get down this was PM me I would love to fish with you!

Cheers,
Bernie

Yeah, some moving water would've been nice to have. Glad you got some though. We normally fish on Fridays. I'll try to post up next time we come down.

I wouldn't mind catching a 7.5# like that kid. Thanks for the report. I've been wanting to get in on some bed fishing action.

I didn't look super hard, but I didn't see any beds.

fished there(cap) last week and the fish are on beds. Water is gin clear. Tough to catch em when they can see you first.. Caught all my fish in deeper water. Crappie are biting also.

Glad you found some. How deep were you catching them? We're pretty clueless green bass fishermen.
