That's my ultimate goal.

And if I read it right, you can't fillet fish in the bays.

This topic was discussed on BloodyDecks in March and the best response was:
"I remember this question came up a few years ago after someone posted they had been told by DFG that it was illegal. Well........there is nothing in the DFG regs specific to Mission Bay. I called the chief lifeguard in Mission Bay and he said there is no problem with private boaters cleaning fish in the bay. He even checked with his contact at DFG and reaffirmed that it is legal as long as we are not talking about industrial type quantities. Having said that.......filleting fish in Sea World Marina is prohibited but that is the marina policy not DFG."

Take it for what it is worth as it is heresay, but it sounds reasonable.

oldrookie,

hello. i'm the guy that was just going out that morning, when you were going back ashore.

here is a report of my outing that day....

http://forum.kayak4fish.com/viewtopic.php?t=12705

as others also suggested earlier in this thread, i release all bass in the bay.

that water is certainly somewhat polluted with gas & oil from all the years of moored boats & active boats. plus the bass are fairly mediocre eating fish any ways.

for fish to eat.... go to LaJolla and get some rockfish, halibut, lings, or YT, etc. ALL these are SOOOO much better eating, than the bay bass.

H-P,

Read your report from the link - wow - 45 fish!!! outstanding.
Good to see another kayaker on the water.

Yes, LJ is on my radar - for some reason it seems to be a huge hurdle for me - it could be that I wear prescription glasses, and have had them knocked off - but to do that in the water if a wave hits or flips me over - they could be lost forever. I do have a strap that goes around the back of my head to keep them in place - will be doing a test in the pool this weekend to see how well they stay in place.
