wsb night fishing

Night fishing?


In the Ocean?



You ain't fishing for catfish here.


You are crazy!


Kayaking is already dangerous enough without introducing the variables of limited visibility, sneaky waves and other night time horrors.


You'll get hurt, don't do it. Anyways, the fish are usually sleeping at night too so the fishing would likely be very slow.

Yup.....matt is right. Fish have to sleep too.

Then how am I going to catch a swordfish?

Don't go alone! I was soaking squid in the kelp while hooping and that's about as extreme as I'll get for fishing

Night Kayaking is so Extreme!!!!

since i have no luck with yellows, i figure i'd try something different but not sure about any of this white sea bass fishing. haven't seen you guys post any catches, but then again reports are usually 2 weeks late here anyways. lol. but would it be worth it to launch sometime after midnight and fish till morning for the ghosts this time of year? and say you were doing such a thing, would you focus on deeper water or outside the kelp line?

Ridiculous coastal squid, make this a possibility. Put in your time out there and you will be rewarded. They are not around in volume until they are setting up to spawn, but there are chances. On the squid grounds or near the kelp.

What Andy said, x2.

Though current squid reports are about as common as current fish reports, when the squirts are out there in good volumes, very often, so are the whites.
If you're not in the loop (we aren't), your best bet, since you live in Oceanside, would be a drive to La Jolla the night before you MIGHT go, say around midnight. If you see the very bright lights of what appear to be squid boats working outside of the south point of the reserve, then it may be worth a try going the next night.
Another note, for $10 some of the squid boats will give you all the live squid you'll need for the day, plus enough for fresh dead on your next couple of trips.
