Heading out Tuesday 1/11/11

[Jimmyz123]

Heading out Tuesday 1/11/11 for my birthday fishing trip that I always go on. I'm also going to use it for testing my bait tank before I make the jump to the ocean. I know the tide movement is not going to be too great but hey I get to go fishing. I'm thinking of going to either Mission or SD I haven't quite decided yet. If anyone wants to join me please let me know.

I was out last weekend and MB is still very muddy from the dregging and rains. After high tide peaked MB emptyed like a toilet with all kinds of debris flowing out.

I would try SD Bay.
Good luck!

And with 26 sewage spills 8 million gallons dumped in SD In the month of DEC.
I just wonder how safe some fish are to eat. Have fun tue and maybe you should fish deep.

You just decided it for me. I know SD Bay very well and I have some areas that I was planning to try out. If my bait tank comes together like I hope it will I'll be picking up some bait. I have a spot I really want to try that I know always holds flat fish and is pretty deep.

I want to go very badly I don't have my leashes yet for my rods in the event I tip. I guess I could lay them down like I would my paddle. I've been kicking around trying to go to La Jolla or do the bay thing. Believe me the tug on my heart is there.

I don't have leashes for most of gear, i just use nylon rope and tie it to my rods and stuff i don't want lose. The leashes i do own i use for my best gear.

I have to look around the house, I think I may have stuff that I can use for leashes. I know I can handle the La Jolla launch but I want to make that for a day when I can hit it early and be out as long as I want. I have to drop my son off at school in the morning and my Mother-In-Law is making me a dinner for that night also. So my window of fishing will be from about 8 until about 3. How long do most people go out for when they go?

8 to 3 will work just fine!!! put the excuses in the kitchen drawer and get out there. LJ has been lightly fished lately,you will probably come in with a yt.

[Jimmyz123]

You may have decided it for me. I should stop the excuses and just get out there.

I store my rods in the the hull through the rod pod. The milk crate in the back is bungieed down and has a lid.

Leashes: small diameter rope from HD with a carabiner clip - its only for the paddle, and not in the surf zone. While fishing I don't use any leashes on my rods.

I understand your timing constraints. I hate that. It isn't fun to keep checking the clock when you need to return.

Jimmy, check out the innovations thread for some great ideas on how to make inexpensive and functional leashes from stuff you probably have in your garage.

I have adopted Fongman's great idea of using tarp tie-downs and have attached them to every rod holder on my yak. For about $6 you can have every rod except the one in your hand securely lashed down.

I love the Innovations page, I have gotten a lot of my ideas from there. As I was driving to dinner tonight I thought about the tarp tie-downs as you mentioned. I have a few of those I can use. I'm set, thanks for mentioning those.
