Striped Bass - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Ohana · 09-20-2010, 05:44 AM

DVL seems to be the best local bet. I am a member of a SoCal flyfishing forum and several of the posters catch stripers and largemouth bass on DVL.

My understanding is that the stripers prey heavily on shad, so it may require a lot of chasing the breaking bait to get a striper.

Good luck!

Go to Blue Water Tackle in Solana Beach and seek a red headed gentleman named Hunter- he will tell you all you need to know about the local striped bass....

I know Silverwood LAke has Striped bass, wouldn't reccommend eating it though

It might be far for you but Castaic and Pyramid have stripers there too. And they allow SOT kayaks.

Intriguing article. Thanks for the info. Note to self: Catch and release at Silverwood Lake!

Yeah, I agree with Silverwood probably being the best local choice. I saw that article, too a while back. I'm sure the trout are probably ok to eat, I don't think they get many hold-overs, but I'd release the stripers. They don't charge anything to launch a kayak, but they'll do a hull inspection so make sure your boat is dry. I think they're up to $10 to get in the gate now. The wind gets real heavy in the afternoon. Cleghorn Cove is good to drift with anchovie.
