OK Alex...I'll take, "That's what she said" for $3,000
 

This is a Kayak Fishing Report for 9/9/17 from San Diego Bay

I headed out for what I hoped would be a good bone session in San Diego Bay. Things moistened up quickly due to light rains at launch. When I found the bone hole the wind and tide changed conspiring to rapidly and repeatedly push me off the spot. Wish I hadn't forgot my anchor as I didn't have a long enough to work the hole and pull a big one....uh...long enough time that is.

All of the bones were disappointingly small. I was happy however to at least land the target species. I heard in Florida that they estimate the value of each Bonefish caught at $3,000 to the local economy. I caught over 20 spotties along the way as well. Most of these were also small. D'oh!

Conditions became un-fish-able mid morning as a very-high high tide thrust in. Wind probably hit 20-mph and some waves started spurting over the side of my Outback...thinking of Florida again I guess. Anyway, I made my way back to the launch through the heaving white capped bay and knew I made the right decision to leave it at that.

Here are a few pics...

What sort of rig do you catch those bonefish on?

Great job targeting bonefish and getting them- I hooked one on a white fly Friday afternoon - we were going after spotties on the bottom and then my last fish decided it wanted to swim in a non-spottie fashion... my first bonefish on the fly. Super fun and can't wait to do it again.

will you guide me on bonefish?

Bone Fight
 

Yeah...definitely different than spottie fight. They pinwheel like a yellowtail as you try and bring them to the yak. The bigger ones will rip some real drag too.

Wind & Tide
 

I'll PM you if the wind and tide look right for a trip. The last session was pretty bad with only a 10-mph forecast...(always understated on the bay).

Nice report. Love those bonefish. So much fun to catch. I used to fish the bay a lot from Tidelands back to Chula Vista and would try and target those and corvina. Really fun with light tackle.

Sounds like a great time.
I've found anchoring to be very helpful for that South Bay bone fishing. Mike
