Malibu BKR report - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

santamonica · 10-25-2016, 08:18 AM

Hey guys! First report.

Paddled out at escondido and fished the edge of the marine reserve (the legal side) went about a mile out and caught way too many mackeral. They were hitting yo-yos and bare hooks and swallowing the sinker and getting the line caught in their gill plate. Dropped one down as live bait but it was probably too big to be useful. Ended up paddling back inshore to the kelp where I caught an olive rockfish (i think, looked like a calico but only had spots on the top) on a crocidile on the drop between kelp strands. Nice evening on the water but I think the larger mackeral made fishing for real stuff a bit too tough.

The malibu zone has been dead this year. The squid beds never went off.

For the report! Awesome area to fish. Many random
stones will hold fish summer and winter!! Keep
it up.
