Hooping Long Beach Anyone??? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The last normally scheduled boats that run to those islands usually run around 4 or 5 I believe. There's always a boat running here or there, but I think that's the last normally scheduled run. Otherwise they run on the hour, every hour.

I haven't fished LB at all yet, but I'll be trying out those islands here pretty soon. Gotta put my hoops to the test!

Let me know if you get a go-time. If timing works, I'd go along as an added pair of hands/eyes. Am a total rook at hooping.

I've had good luck launching from the southern end of things at the Claremont Ramp (catamarans and kiters). Enter the non-trailer lot from the entrance at Bayshore and Ocean. It's a short tug to wheel a yak from the truck to the the ramp and close to the water.

This will put you more toward Island Chaffee and the south breakwater exit. It too gets shuttle traffic.

I do NOT know how the catchin' is and would welcome some general intel on fishin' this end as I like the launch and there is a hoseoff area. There are some related posts but it would be WONDERFUL to hear about this area from those familiar.

Alas, I am a rookie yak fisherman.
