SD Bay halibut Hunt 3/2 or 3/3 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Jimmyz123 · 02-26-2013, 07:27 AM

I was reading on another post that some wanted to launch from Shelter Island, hit the bait barge and do some Halibut hunting. I was looking at the tides for Sat and Sun and Sat has the better tide movement of the weekend. Preferd launch time would be about 6:00 to paddle to the barge. I personally won't be able to launch until 7 A.M. but still willing to hook up with everyone who's in for doing this.

So who's in?

Hey Jimmy. That was me who started that. I may not be able to go after all

. If I can go, it will be Saturday. Hopefully....

I'll be out there on Sunday - hopefully there isn't top to bottom bait everywhere like the last time I targeted halibut.

i totally forgot rock season was opening back up but im still dwn to drift for some halibut

Jimmyz123 · 02-26-2013, 10:33 AM

Personally Sunday works best for me. So I'll plan for that day. Launching at 6. Let me know if anyone is down for that.

Yep that was you. I thought maybe if we made the invite more visible others might want to join in. With Rock fish season opening on the first, I'm guessing a lot of people will be heading out of La Jolla. I also thought about launching in Mission bay and paddling out to the Point Loma kelp. I liked that paddle.

just a heads up, the tide's are not in your favor either weekend day if you are heading out the channel in SD bay

Good point, we would be fighting the incoming tide. If I'm able to head out it looks like Sunday is my best chance. Launch at 6, paddle the bait barge, paddle over to North Island and work my way back toward Shelter Island using the tide to make a nice little drift.

I've been wanting to get out on the big bay to target some halibut. I'll check my shedule and post if I can make it or not by friday morning. I'm going to need to get a new pick up tube for my hobie bait tank because it fell off last weekend in Mission Bay...bad luck haha

janines.fishtales@cox.net · 02-28-2013, 11:48 AM

I am definately going on Saturday, but I can't decide what I want to do! I will be SD Bay/Shelter Island, but do I go for Halibut (to eat!) or Tidelands (to pre-fish)? Wish I could do both, but the peddle to Tidelands from the bait barge is way too long. Anyone have any suggestions?

If you want to do the Tidelands launch instead let me know. I haven't fished there is a while. I like the idea of Halibut hunting. I can launch after 7 A.M. so I'll be later on the water but I'll be there.

TmBtc12 · 03-01-2013, 06:30 AM

I'm probably out of this weekend, but definitely want to get out there to drift for some halibut soon. Good luck guys.

Jimmyz123 · 03-01-2013, 07:55 AM

I'm out this weekend, other plans came up.

x2. Please keep mein the loop. I would love to meet some of you guys in person for some fishing.

Irishman · 03-01-2013, 05:44 PM

I have a 50/50 chance of going, can a place / time to meet be set up, first time out in sd bay, still doing sea trials as yak is new. Will keep checking in through the evening, am installing the hitch carrier for the yak. Don't have a live bait well rigged yet but the xfactor has the capacity to dump some fish and water into per-existing well, can always just scoop out old water and add new every 10-15 mins. If I can make it might try to get some ghost shrimp from Seaforth

Some will be launching from Shelter Island tomorrow at about 7. Not sure if I will be able to make it. However we will plan one where there will be a lot more of us meeting up.
