Embarcadero Park North to Midway (also in Tuna Harbor) and south to Coronado Bridge. Thanks for the tips.

I'd try launching from Chula Vista Bayfront/J St and fishing the back bay, and launching at Tidelands in Coronado and fishing the moorings, out to the channel and up to the bridge.

Alternately, a launch from Shelter Island or Kellogg Beach and head out to fish around the bait barges (watch for traffic, and they have clamped down on how close you can be in a kayak), or time the tides and ride the outgoing to Zuniga, throw swimbaits and tubes for calico bass, and then ride the tide back in.
