OB Yellowtail - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Has anyone caught yellowtail off of OB? I have heard a lot out of la jolla, but not much out of OB. Thanks.

there's a few yakers that launch out of mission bay and target yellows with consistency.

There are YT there, but many don't like to paddle through mission bay. I for one like it more than La Jolla. Less people on the water in the OB area.

I was there checking out the farmers market a month ago and the surf looked doable in some sections. I have launched in worse lol would be cool to fish that area

the dog beach is your best bet. launch in the river part and it will shoot you right into the surf (very small) and out past the jetty. saw a dog do it, a yak shouldn't be to hard.

Awesome! I will probably launch out of mission bay and hit the bait barge. I might go this weekend. Is there a time of day or tidal sequence that the yt are more likely to bite? Thanks!

Sounds like a good alternative to LJ. Interested to see how you do.

people worry about the tides and moon, etc. Just fish dude

tide does come into play if your using the jetty. always best to go with the tide.

I paddle out through the jetty and time my trips by the out going and in coming tides. When the Tide is going out, I'll paddle out with it, and back in with the inward tide. Makes the paddling a lot faster.

The fishing out there is nice also.
