Does any one fish the jetty in sd bay i have a few ?s - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

yaknewb · 02-07-2011, 03:17 PM

So i was wondering how far it is to paddle a kayak out there to fish and is it worth it or should i just fish shelter island and bait barge area area?

u can get your distances by marking your gps coordinates or u can plot with paper charts.

Shelter Island is a great place, but it is a long paddle out to the break, sometimes very fishy I have caught some quality buts in there, but the water temp should come up a bit for the good stuff. You just have to remeber you are in a heavily patrolled naval area and the gun ship will chase you out of any unauthorized areas which are clearly marked, the traffic does get pretty heavy out there so be aware of your surroundings
but it does hold some good ones

Good place bit of a paddle watch the tides so you are not coming back on an out going

Yea i was thinking off hitting it on a week day for the boat traffic and time the tides right to make it for an easyer paddle.

I can tell you for a fact that the total paddle to and from are going to be about 6 miles total. If you paddle from S.I. like I did on my B-day it will take about an hour to pick up bait at the Bait barge and then to paddle the rest of the way to the jetty, maybe a little longer but still it's worth the paddle. If you chart it to when the tide is going out and then when the tide is coming in it will make the paddling not so difficult. I wish I would have fished the jetty more when I was there but I chose to head back early. It's a good paddle but could be very fun with Calicos, Sandies, Halibut, and many other fun types.

I'll mark my calendar also. Now do you want to fish near S.I. or take all that time paddling to the jetty? In March the Halibut should be starting to really go on the chew and I know some spots close to S.I. that we can try. Let me know what you want to do and we'll plan for that.

I have only launched from the shore across the street from the hotels there, thats where wifey likes to stay cause it is so close, we usually get out there on saturday and fish sunday, or we could do the afternoon bite on saturday, it's about 2-2.5 hour drive for me so we make a overnighter out of that trip.
I am open for any ideas...

StinkyMatt · 02-08-2011, 08:36 PM

Hey Bret, are you seeing other men? You told me I was the only one. It is over! I hope that they give you what you want!

mtnbykr2 · 02-09-2011, 06:45 AM

no Matt, not seeing others, just making the group larger, I figured if nobody saw the invite by the middle of the month I would start pm-ing you guys, I thought this would be advanced enough notice for the "honey-dos" to be done in a timely manner...

I looked at the tides for that weekend and on Sunday from about 3:30 A.M. till 9:40 the tide will be going to a high from 0.6 to 5.7. I was thinking for launching Sunday at 6 A.M. and fishing until about 2. We would be able to fish the end of the incoming tide and then the out going tide. Does that sound good for any of you?

sounds good to me, we are all set to go, the more the merrier... parking at the launch is free, but fills pretty fast after the am, I don't think we will have any trouble
