Slimer hunting? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

It should be easy to find them with all the Sporties on them..."The fish were in about 100' of water straight off the Venice Pier."...Remember these are the first fish of the season...They could be here 10 minutes or 10 days. They usually move around a lot when they first move in, but with all the bait in the Bay they just might stick around. Check the counts.
The launch from Venice Beach isn't always easy so the best bet might be to launch from the beach just to the north of the MDR entrance channel. It's a lot of sand to the beach but it's probably easier than the paddle down the channel if you don't want to brave the Venice surf and the big closeouts.
Good Luck

Should be a lot of boat traffic with the bite so close. Good idea to launch from the beach if your not using live bait. Good luck.
