A Question For The Halibut Wisperers - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

^^ I see. From the beginning of the dredged channel (zone I/J) straight across the sand flats to Hotel Del, it's about 30-35' until you approach the beach. I want to explore that area too. It looks like the entire Coronado Bay area is pretty flat and shallow, and all sandy.

Cutting through the jetty puts you at about 20-25' depth from that point to the hotel. (EDIT: I see now that you meant for the trip back. Yes, depending on conditions, that definitely saves some time.)

An old-timer told me he used to fish that sandy area using a piece of chain as his weight on a 3-way to scuff up the sand and draw attention to his bait that followed behind on a 3-4' leader.
