San Diego Skunk

[Harry Hill]

Launched from Tidewater Park about 7am to a falling tide, headed north with the tide and spent the morning not catching fish, except for some greenbacks. I had a dolphin spend about half an hour with me which probably didn't help the bite but was entertaining. Buddha was fishing with me and never got a bite all morning. I managed to snag some guys line from the fishing dock and mess his morning up, that guy could really cast because I was quite a ways out trolling a mackerel off a dropper. I cut my line and sent his rig back to him whole but I imagine he was upset. Anyway, it was really nice on the water, t-shirt weather. Coronado is a lot busier than Chula Vista, navy seals running back and forth in gunboats, lots of boats on the water but we were the only kayak fisherman I saw and I only saw a couple of skiffs out fishing, I guess everyone else knew what I didn't, the fish weren't biting in the bay today. Then again, who else in the US was out fishing today in a kayak?
