Cabrillo Beach - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Silbaugh4liberty · 04-30-2014, 07:12 AM

BTW, I'll bring some extra squid if you need some. But I may also try to catch some live bait.

I'll be out there with my pops to try out his new Hobie tandem. See you guys out there. We will be out there at 6am....probably do the beach launch too, since the paddles out from the boat ramp is a long ways to go to get to the breakwall.

It's not that far...I would suggest that you guys launch from the boat ramp. Nice and clean, no sand to drag your kayak across, water to rinse your stuff down, launch very close to your truck...besides what's wrong with a little extra paddling?

You can buy bait at the barge for $10 bucks + tip of course, mike out at the barge is a good guy.

Bait can be made out there right now but your going to have to search for it, and it's going to take away from your fishing time.

Where exactly is the bait barge? I tried looking for it last weekend but guess I didn't look at the right place.

Don't know how you could have missed it...? It has a huge sign on it that says LIVE BAIT! It's right out in front of the launch...maybe 1/4 mile?

Had my blinders on that day I guess.

Only $10 for a scoop of live bait? That's money! ! I'll take two for the live well!! Is it anchovies, or something else ( mackerel, sardines, squid)? I've never bought live bait from a barge, but heard it's like $50-60 a scoop.

Yep, $10.00. Really good deal! I used to go out of Cabrillo with my porta-bote til I got too tired of putting it together and taking it apart after a long day on the water. Finally I bought a kayak and am I SO much happier! (except when I roll over or don't time the lulls correctly). CI prices are double what Cabrillos are. I'm just gonna try and find bait out there. If not, then I'll pull out my back-up (frozen squid). My normal stomping grounds require hunting for bait.

Bait is whatever they have, I'm pretty sure they have macks and sardines right now. If your happy with $10 a scoop...your gonna shit when I tell you it's $10 bucks all day...free refills! Just remember to tip the guy.

BTW, what's an appropriate tip on a $10 scoop? In my mind I was thinking like maybe $5???
