Mission Bay harbor the dreaded W Swll - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Launched around 4:30am and headed out after picking up a scoop at the bait barge. Brian and I went south for OB and drifted from the jetty down past the pier and near the kelp. Had a chunkie calico bycatch on the bottom and a bunch of rake marks (no trap hook) all around 65 ft.

It can get a little chaotic coming in/out of the bay, but thankfully boat traffic wasn't too bad and the tides weren't going against us.

So did anyone catch fish? All the news I heard is that the bite was dead on the inside and outside!

Ya the jetty was a little hairy on Saturday. I got some video of it... but the video always makes it look smaller than it really was.

We had lots of good marks up the beach inside of you, but no biters. Was was cooling all morning, upwelling.
