San Diego fishing reopens (partly) - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I just called the Lifeguard Service. According to the person I spoke with, Phil, the LJ Shores launch is now open for launching and retrieving human-powered kayaks. No powered vessels allowed, at least for the moment.

With all the pent up demand, I wonder if it will be difficult to maintain the required social distancing on the beach?

LJ launch will be like Costco. You have to line up for limited no. of people at the launch while coast guard guys are dis infecting the sand and you have to wear face mask too. That will be funny

The ocean access is the 27th. The "masks when within 6' of anyone not from your household" is May 1.

I don't think the rental companies should be there (not essential businesses?), nor should there be much activity on the resort beach to the South. So, you should be able to spread out and keep your social distancing as long as the tides are not too high.

get a little feedback from guys that do decide to hit it on monday / Tuesday that would be great. you don't have to reveal immediately if you caught fish on not.

. good luck guys and be safe. I'll let things cool off before I. head down. wife won't be too pleased either being that the virus is still active.

from the cam, beach looks dead? & is that the bumper of a pd cruiser on the far right? That's where access to the launch is..
