TheBoyScout · 06-24-2016, 04:20 PM

Has anyone had any experience fishing north county San Diego for yellowtail? If so where is a good place to launch and do you guys know if there are homegirls around the kelp orrrr?

You might want to wait and let the swell die...

Lots of home girls up here in North County, all bikini clad. One of the perks of living here

Smallest surf usually found opposite of Encina Power Plant(now the desal plant) just south of the southernmost jetty. You can park on Carlsbad Blvd but get there early during the summer.

Any kelp line will hold fish, it's a matter of putting in time to find them.

I've been out several times this year for no love. The kelp is scarce, the bait is few and the sea life is minimal so far this year. But when the swell dies down I will be at it again.

I went out today. The surf was VERY high. If you time it right, you can probably get out between sets, but if you are off, then.. ouch.. So, I went to Oceanside Harbor instead. Wind was not an issue until after noon. Anyway, the fishing was not great. It was nice to get out though.

I AM looking for a trip next weekend. Anyone wants a partner to head out with them, let me know. I am always game.

I hope. I'll be out there this week though messing around with some calicos before work if anyone wants to join the swim bait carnage feel free...bring multiple swimbaits of the same color I often have shorts take the paddle tail right off on the first cast of the day maybe that's just my luck hahah
