Ventura County - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

SoCalCuda · 06-01-2021, 12:08 PM

Went fishing north Ventura County beaches this weekend and had a blast. I caught multiple Sheepshead, Calicos, Sand Bass, Rockfish, and Kelp Fish. 3 guys in my party caught 3 Triggerfish that were 15" +or- . It was a good time.

Pictures and Video to come soon.

Here are a few of the fish I caught, when I get the memory card from the other GoPro I will upload my bigger sheepshead. I caught five different species today and I am trying to get pictures of the trigger fish, they were big!

Thanks for sharing the report and photos -- nice variety! I am amazed to hear of the commonality of triggerfish that far Nth That would have been a total anomaly decades ago.

Three guys in my party each caught one within minutes of each other. 12-15” they were amazing to see!

That little kelp fish fought pretty good for a little fish! Hit the shrimp like a freight train.

I caught 7 Sheep, 1 BSB, 5 Rockfish, a Calico, 2 Kelpfish. It was an exciting day. Definitely one of those days that although nothing was braggable, the people, the catching and the overall vibe was great and will be remembered.

I made a video of the day. 6 different species and one of my best days of fishing in a while. Nothing over the top, just a generally fun day.

Tight lines guys and gals,
