More south SD Bay fishing - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

taggermike · 11-10-2013, 02:17 PM

My fishing time has been limited lately so I've been maximizing time by staying close to home, Chula Vista. Hit Jst yesterday about 2 and fished till dark. Pretty weak tides but a nice evening. Ended up with 10 bass or so and my personal best bonefish. I don't weigh or measure the bones but was the biggest I've seen. Ended up with a nice sunset and peddled on in. Mike

Nice job on the PB. Will they eat the plastic?

Very seldom on the plastic, however a shrimp or crab fly worked slowly will take them.

Bummer, I can't fly fish and can't afford to learn. One more hobby is the last thing I need.

Rethink that thought. Light spinning outfit, light weight, shrimp or crab fly. Not fly fishing but fishing the fly!!!!! Same results. That's the difference netween a wisherman and a fisherman

Thanks Bob, I didn't realize flies would be heavy enough for spinning tackle. Another fish added to the bucket list

Ed, I've caught a lot of bones on 3 inch grubs and swimbaits. They eat the plastic pretty good. Shrimp colored grubs and keylime hybrids work great.

3" Big Hammer in Ghost shrimp pattern gets the job done.

GregAndrew · 11-12-2013, 11:28 PM

That is one fish I still need to cross off my list. Nice catch

I've caught 2 bones over the years on plastics. Others have better success. Ghost shrimp are the candy bait in the south bay but I have caught plenty of bone fish, including the one above, on pieces of raw head on shrimp from Seafood City. I imagine bone fish would eat about any worm or crustacean on the bottom. Mike
