Cardiff Reef Report

Don’t worry it will be a matter of time before someone shoves a bar of wax in the machine- Free parking....

Try the campground area midway between the shore and kelp on a rising tide. There is a lot of good structure in less than 20' of water- which will yield you bass o plenty and as pointed out in other posts larger model flatys.


As far as plastics go- I’ve stuck with scampi (root beer & green/tan glitter) over the years- if it isn’t broke.... It may take you a while to figure out your retrieve but once you do, easy pickings.


I’ve been spending a lot of time in LJ with another buddy since I got my Kayak. I’d say too much time as I haven’t got much to show for it (I can make bait like a pro!) He’s been right, no need to overlook what’s right in your backyard.

These conditions have been epic for launching too; the only real problem with the area. I put on an amazing "yard sale" show for the lunch crowd at The Chart House when I first got my kayak in 3' surf. Broken rods stuff floating everywhere and my fishing buddy laughing at me ( that was the worst part).


It would be cool to fish it up with a few North County guys

Best,
Josh

Hey Bob and Josh. Look for the North County Kayak Anglers to put together a fishing get-together for Cardiff soon. Come fish with us. It will most likely be posted on Meetup.com first, then make it's way to theses sites. Join us through Meetup.com (easy and free) and you will always be notified when we have a fishing group get together. I just got back from speaking with Nate Clookie and he's gonna post it up soon I hope.

Hey Josh, thanks for the memories. I'm sure those at The Chart House won't forget that day either. I look forward to the North County Kayak Anglers showing me how to fish our local grounds....

Hey Wayne,

I went to meeting.com but could not find your group listed under "North County Kayak Anglers. Only Plastic Navy show up in north county. Is that the same group? Please send me the link so I can get on the mailing list.

I'm sorry. You're right. I forgot to mention that North County Kayak Anglers are kind of a sub group of Plastic Navy. Go to the Plastic Navy group in Meetup.com And in the upper right corner should be an area to "join us".
Try this link:

http://www.meetup.com/Plastic-Navy-Kayak-Fishing/

If you join, and include your email address, you will be notified about every event sponsored by the Plastic Navy and North County Kayak Anglers. It's fun, free and easy. So....join us!

Wayne

PS. We don't claim to know everything about fishing North County. But when groups of people get together and share information, everybody benefits. Some of us have been fishing North County for a while. Others are new and want to learn and have a good time. Maybe you can show us something!

Thanks Wayne,

I'm in and look forward to getting together with others in our region. Count me in for the Cardiff adventure.

Pretty daring trying to haze me in public forums. I will take the high road on this one and tell you it wasn't that day that I caught 0 fish, it was the other 4 days we fished out there that I caught 0 fish. I will not use this forum to engage in banter with a guy who needs outriggers more than anyone I know and who has lost more gear than I have purchased. May this be put to rest.
