SD Bay at night
 

Tried fishing the bay last night to take advantage of the high tide. Could not get on the water until after 8PM. Fished plastics on light line around the ferry landing and did not catch or meter anything. Nice to be on the water but should have gotten there for the sundown bite. I thought I was going to nail them! Just a heads up for anyone else thinking of fishing that area. Startig to think I really suck at fishing! :(

wondered if you went the day before that, i was in green yak with a guy in a dark green hobie. was nailin it with corvina at the wall towards the left, couple keeper halis and limit on croakers, ill send you the corvina pic here

tinhman nice haul on the corvina, can I ask what you got them on? topwater by chance?

I fished Mission Bay last night, had to work hard for five fish, a pulled a nice sandie and a nice spottie out from some docks

Curious
 

Where did you launch from to fish that area? The ferry landing beach?

The tinh man working the corvina! nice fish man!

Don't give up on the night fishing. Some nights are way better than the best days. You just have to have the right conditions. Try launching out of Shelter for the night bite. I always liked the sides of the channel at night.

Ya I was there with him we were both killing it. We even both had landed couple butts but they were a hair short!:reel::reel:

some on xraps and spooks, and some dropshotting squid from berkely gulp

yes your right

Wow, great haul on the corvina and croakers. The only fish I metered were out in 40 ft of water and suspended. I was fishing larger MC baits hoping for some aggressive bass or halibut. I've seen big flatties taken around there years past. This was not my night though. The bay is usually a lot better to me than this one. I won't give up but I'll aim for shelter island next time and fish closer to twilight or dawn. Thanks for the tips guys.

I've been wanting to launch there instead of tidelands to fish the main channel, to avoid the long paddle, but not sure where to park? Do you try to find parking right there by all the restaurants? It's ok to launch right next to the pier? Thanks

i saw u out there i was fishin on the shore the guy in the hobie was hallin ass in that thing

the parkin lot is 24 hrs and they wont kick you out theres a nice sandy beach there.

Thanks
 

For the parking info. I drove by there last week and wasn't sure whether I'd get towed if I parked in the Ferry Landing Lot. Seems like Coronado town likes to limit parking options for non-residents, as I note several permit-only and metered areas along the street running in front of the ferry landing, especially by the little "pocket parks" further west, and as Jim Sammons noted earlier, they've limited the parking hours at Tidelands as well.
