Joe, your reports always bring a smile to my face. You're living right! Thanks for sharing a great day and its delicious aftermath.

Nice post. That's what these boards are all about. Can't wait until the next time I'm out on the water.

Hey Joe, nice post! It's great your wife likes to hang out and fish with you. That was one of the reason's I bought my Hobie TI. Now we just need to figure out how to fish together without killing each other. Anyway, as I was reading your report I realized that Mission Bay to the Cliff's would be an excellent trip for the TI, I think? No surf to deal with, etc. If I may, and I know we are probably going to violate some ethical posting procedures regarding top-secret launch spots, but where exactly did you launch from and how long did it take you to the fishing grounds? Thanks in advance!

Roger,

There is an easy launch from the ramp at Dana Landing. No security clearance required. If you prefer a sand launch, the cove next to the Bahia is a good choice. Lots of parking this time of year.

It is a nice sail out the channel although since it points directly into the prevailing wind, you may have to do a little peddling. They just dredged the channel so it should be easy going even when the surf is big.

Have fun and report back.

I always launched from Mariners Point to fish Pt Loma, time the tides in the channel or it takes alot of your energy!

How dare you comment on the immature posts of others telling people what they should report...

That being said, that was a wonderful post and picture layout. We love seeing other couples doing the yak fishing thing together. Looked like a great day and good eats to boot. Thanks for a nice report, they are so far and few between, but enjoyable when they do occur.

We launched from mariners basin, Mission Point Park. About a 3 mile paddle to the PL Kelp. I don't sail but I could see it being a fun trip. Another fun trip for you may be the big bay launching from Kellogg St and sailing out by the Point Loma lighthouse.

Several times Shiloh and I have launched from Mission Point Park and paddled from there to Kellogg St (bat to bay) where we leave a car the night before. That is about a 15-20+ mile paddle if you time the tides right it is a great day of fishing.

We live in an area located on a vast stretch of ocean, two bays and several lagoons. There are many places up and down the coast to launch kayaks and fish. Always fun to explore.
