North County report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

j mo · 02-03-2009, 07:04 PM

Cool.....my son's still a few years away, but my dad is still holding it down in the water as well. Ive spear fished Nor County for years, but have kayaked mainly in LJ in hopes of taking down a larger model

in the yak. In retrospect I should have fished closer to home, I KNOW Id have more to show for it! Ill ping you next time I fish or hoop in the area

Best,
Josh

Superbowl Sunday, my buddy had a party (lives on 3rd & D)... my buddy JJ (visiting from LA) swam out looking for

and ended up plucking this tasty little morsel with his 3-prong.

Yup- many a flatty have been plucked between Cardiff Reef and Beacons. Biggest fish ive ever seen in these waters was a Hali off Traps. It was so large I couldnt figure out what I was seeing. Some weird fish I thought.
Turned out to be her gill plate! No joke upwards of 60# and at least 5' in length. I nearly shat myself and hesitated just long enough to watch the carpet sail away. Good thing im sure it would have drown me.

Your not talking about "halibut land" are you, or is it "lobster land," I forget? The vis is epic right now, go dive, better yet, go dive from your kayak!

Surfed with this guy yesterday......

saw him tuck into a few good ones, have to keep your eye on him though as he'll jockey you for position right quick if you're not paying attention
