Launch location - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I launched at Shelter Island boat ramp this morning from the beach which is 75 yards north of the concrete ramp. Directly across the bay at North Coronado Naval Air Station is four pilings marked A through D. (shallow water-rocks) I got a few bass and a short halibut on 3" gulp bait on the incoming tide. There were some others that caught some bass and short halibut as well. For ten bucks you can go up to the bait barge and get live bait if you want.

Mobie, was that you with the sail? Nice meeting you today, and you have a very AWESOME BOAT.

Going out with the tide and coming with with the tide means fishing as it goes from high to low and returning when its going from low to high.

I thought best tide times for fish was hours before high and after high?

I was just saying that it is an easier paddle using the tide to help move you. The currents can be strong in the bay and if you go against a strong current, it adds a lot of extra work.

As to fishing around the tides .............. well ........... I don't know, I just fish and most of the time I catch fish.
