5/4 SD Bay - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

fishja · 05-04-2020, 04:29 PM

Well after quite some time away from the kayaking world... I’m back at it. Bought and sold a few boats, got married, had a baby... LIFE!

I picked up a PA from fastlane last week and am super stoked on the upgrade from my revo. Hobie has really done a great job!

Fished the big tide change this morning. Launched at Kellogg and picked up a kayak scoop of bait. Sardines were bigger and healthy.

Focused mainly on the south side of the bay and got into a pretty killer ripper of a bite. Halibut, sculpin, sandbass, spotties. Snapped a few pics.

Fish got very active 45 min after the high when the current really picked up. The red tide seemed to let up a little as well with the outgoing tide.

Caught all the halibut on a 3-way rig with trap hook. Warbaits 1oz underspin weedguard with a 5” swimbait accounted for most the bass. I was fishing the anchovy color mostly.

Great way to spend a Monday morning- back home in Carlsbad by 1130.

I keep getting an error message trying to upload the photos- but they aren’t anything special.
