Chula Vista Bayfront Park? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Like Buddha said, great and easy place to launch, plenty of free parking, and usually good fishing. Lots of folks launch from the beach north of the marina. I just use the boat ramp and paddle a bit farther. South bay can be an amazing place. Its fairly quiet and has square miles of eel grass flats. The fishing can be excellent depending on tide flow. Spotted bay bass are the most common catch but you can find halibut, corvina, yellow fin croaker, black croaker, spot fin croaker, sand bass in the deeper channels, bone fish, plenty of sharks n rays, and though they've been rare the last few years you can get in to some bonito back there too. Lots of different local and migratory birds and there's a population of green sea turtles that you see occasionally. Mike

That's the best place to launch in the South Bay. I launch from the ramp and there is plenty of parking on most days but sometimes it will be full when the lowrider clubs have car shows.
