I heard the Insiene Bait folded. Frozen squid is good. Paddle out to buoy then parallel to shore. From there, it drops at the canyon. Good Luck

Look on google maps and find some structure below the surface. There is a wreck out there that holds a lot of white fish and an artificial reef.

I haven't seen a bait barge there. Squid and shrimp will produce rockfish, whitefish, and various other inshore species like calicos/sheepheads/blacksmiths. Try plastics as well. Take a sabiki and tip it with squid there is always a ton of mackerel out there, just watch out for sea lions if you decide to throw live baits because THEY WILL steal the fish.

Parking is $2/hour (at least it was before we were on corona time). Call the harbor (kings harbor) and ask if the lot is open.

Good luck

I scouted that canyon quite a bit before going out and didn’t really have much luck. Mostly white fish and a bunch of sand dabs. I was kind of surprised at how sandy the bottom is considering the drop off.

I find the coves to the south way more interesting if you can stomach the paddle... especially if you’re c&r for stuff like calicos and sandies

From what I understand, the parking lot does not open until 7am right now, and is only open for trailer, car top craft and local business traffic right now. Bait barge went under when the bay had too much red tape to fish for bait. A sabiki is all you need to make bait there though. Good rockfish and bass fishing around the local structures and canyon. Getting towards the time of year when other good stuff shows up too.
