C Bad 11-14 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

SGV Rookie · 11-15-2009, 07:51 AM

I have some great photos of my two daughters just checking out the sights in Newport upper bay with fishing poles in hand. Maybe we can start up a kids gone fishing post for nothing but kids.

Nice pics by the way! Fishing with your kids is a good day, fish or no fish!

That report put the biggest smile on my face! What awesome parents you are for showing those kids such an awesome adventure. Way to go! TP

Way to go guys...

That was where Clay had his first kayak fishing adventure...and now he's addicted...hopefully the boys will be too.

Keep it up, that first pic is a classic.

Thanks for the posts! Jeremiah (JT) is 27 months and Morgan is almost 3. You guys have no idea how stoked these little guys are on fishing especially Kayak fishing. Gregg (aka) Quilted Germ has Morgan on a sweet snoopy pole set up and he can actually cast it! He also knows most of our local fish by name.

I’ve known Gregg for a long time, we cut our teeth learning how to spearfish between Cardiff Reef and Pipes when we were young. We also got into Kayak fishing together a few years ago too (not so young) and to think that these two little guys may not be able to enjoy our coastline as Gregg and did and still do is a sad, sad thought.

Anyway, just wanted to share some weekend stoke with you all and say thanks for fighting for these little anglers right to enjoy our coastline!

Best,

Josh

Fun day on the water, no doubt. Nice pix. I'm glad you listened to me when I told you to turn your FF. I decided I need to get Morgan another Lightning McQueen rod so that he has one for the Hali Drift and one for throwing leadheads at the "breezers". We'll be back...

Hi Bob,

There was a phone number posted on the sign at the launch spot "dog beach" that said "for permits call"... when I called it I got a young kid on the line that said "oh if your just taking the kids out dont worry about it"... I do know you can buy a calendar year permit for around $50. Definately worth a recon mission since your so close.

Thanks Holy Makerel, I figured he needed his own handle as this is the first of many kayak trips for my little guy.

j mo, great pics. I've been talking to my daughter about going out, but she'll only do it in a bay. I'm in the Carlsbad area but never thought about fishing in this spot. did you guys launch at the Y?

twitchy · 11-16-2009, 09:48 PM

I live in the condos on the middle lagoon. You only have to have a permit if you go in the back lagoon where the jet skies and boats go. There is an alternative launch on the middle lagoon, between the 5 fwy and rail tracks, on Harbor Drive. You have to walk down a path down a little hill, so bring your wheels.

Not too be a Debbie downer, but it looks like you guys went into the front lagoon next to PCH. That is a clam farm, white sea bass hatchery and where they draw water for the power plant. If caught in there you will get a hefty fine. The middle lagoon is awesome for the kids no wake and no jet skis. I have a 4 year old and an 18 month old and they have a blast. Inexpensive fun for the family.
