South Carlsbad? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hi Eric,

Bob here, (the guy who took your avatar photo). I have fished Cardiff quite a few times. I always catch a few small fish but never anything very exciting. There are lots of calicos in the kelp. I find that the wind there makes it difficult to stay on a spot very easily. Also, the current can sometimes be very strong.

I have seen some fishers paddle deep into the kelp and just sit on top of it next to a hole, yoyoing off the bottom. Taking my hobie deep into the kelp is a pain unless I remove the peddles so I have not tried that yet.

Best of luck and keep us posted on your results.

Bob
