Mission Bay tips ? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I am by no accounts an expert , but I do fish Mission Bay quite a bit. I like to fish for Halibut up by the west end of the bay, in the entrance channel to the bay. I have caught a couple nice keeper size 'butt's between Mariners Basin and Quivira Basin. I drift sardines or anchovies on a three way swivel rig. I've caught some really nice spotties doing the same thing. The bottom is nice and sandy in that area, so you don't get fouled up with eel grass quites as much. For spotties I like fishing in about 8-10 feet of water and slow roll a spinnerbait Like a Diesel Z-Man along the bottom or a 4" swimbait with a warbait weedless head. Good luck !! If you are ever looking for someone to fish with PM me, I live 5 mins from MB and I love spending time out on the water and meeting other kayak fisherpeople!!

Cheers,
Bernie
