SD Bay at night - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

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

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.
