Kayaking Mission Bay

From the name of this site, I'm thinking this might not be the place for this post - let me know if it is. I do plan to get out at La Jolla some morning this summer.

Went out to Mission Bay for my 2nd outing - did mostly paddling and trolling. Hooked up on a short barracuda with a Rapala. Was out for about 2.5 hours.

Waves were way more choppy than I expected for the bay, and more than last week - wind was way up too - but it was still fun to be out there. Did have two Hobie Cats run over my line while trolling. Partially my fault as I cut across the channel. Thought I was going to loose my line completely, but they just bumped and caused a momentary bend in the rod.

mission bay report

it should be a perfect place for your post, lots of bay fishing reports on here as well as LJ reports. trolling mission bay is a fine way to get started, find a fish or two. diving Rapala's or similar baits work well, preferably near the bottom. soft plastics, swim baits and the like, are very effective again fished deep or near boat docks, or throw weedless jigs into the weeds. there was more wind than usual this weekend, i think; you can usually find parts of the bay that are fairly calm, just depends on where you launch. Besides mission bay, try out san diego bay. from Tidelands park on Coronado island you can fish near the bridge, or you can launch at shelter island pretty easily. lots of options, fishing is different everywhere you go. you can learn a lot by searching this site or asking questions here.

have fun out there.

Ha ha - I post while I fish... not really.
I read a lot before I dive into something so that I'm not completely clueless when I take the first step.

It wasn't that long ago you were asking all kinds of good question about
different yaks. What did you finally settle on and how are you transporting it?

I got an OK Trident Prowler 13. Bought a Yakima kayak kit which is two foam blocks and 7 straps to hold it down. Two for the two foam blocks, two at bow, two at the stern, one for the middle through the back doors. Took a few trips before I got it to a point where I'm more comfortable with the mounting of it.

The bays are a great place to kayak fish, epecially if the weather/waves are up at La Jolla. I spend most of my bay time around Shelter island throwing small plastics. Once the water warms up a bit, the fishing can be on fire -- 30 fish days on bass. Have fun!

Yes, it takes a bit of time to get it all secured. The straps at the bow and stern are combined to make one big one.
