I think I was just a day or two too late.

F%#$ I hate that phrase!
The SoCal window is so rare and fleeting, reacting to a bite/report is too late. SD is the place to look...today. Good luck again.

Isn't Pt. Loma/ SD Bay launch the closest to 9mi bank? I just plot the #on google map and it shows almost straight west from SD bay entrance. Just curious.

You're right... It is closer to the 9. The reason I won't launch from there is twofold:

1. Boat traffic. USN subs aircraft carriers cargo ships sport fishing boats mega yachts and the like are all up in the channel and there's a real risk there launching at night.

2. Tides. I won't launch from sd or mission bay cuz the tides get so gnarly in the channels. If the tide is going out as you're coming in from a 20+ mile paddle! that is really gonna suck.

Tourmo is right on the edge of the south LJ reserve. So we can make bait on the edge of the kelp and just be on our way!

What about Dog Beach in OB?
Too much MB traffic?
Too much dog crap?

OB jetty could be good. There's a channel along the south side of the jetty. But then again there's also a barreling right sand bar which breaks right off that channel so it might be a little sketchy. Tourmo is a slow, sloping longboard wave, similar to sanO. Surfwise it's a lot easier than OB.

Plus I live at the top of tourmaline hill so the beach is 200 yds from my house, so there's that

There are areas of REALLY clean water that are 72-73 degree F and about 10 miles off MB on the N9. There has been really good fishing on the outside S9 as well as the 182. I think this one has a good shot. No one has got them on the N9 so I believe they are headed that way anyday now.

Like Zed said... if you're reading the report its probably too late.

I'm not going to paddle that far, but a great place to launch would be the South Mission Beach jetty. You can paddle right along the jetty right out of Mission Bay. You can actually park on the bayside, and launch on the bay, just adding a few hundred yard to the trip.

Then pick up bait in the Point Loma kelp beds on the way.

ps... we came into Mission Bay from the 9-mile yesterday, on a Power Boat, and the water temp right outside the bay was 74.5 degrees. Amazing.
