vincentek9 · 01-04-2019, 11:13 AM

i got a fleet of buddies heading out tomorrow. some launching mission bay, dana, davies (Alamitos), south shore (queen mary) and Cabrillo. if I get any intel on fish within 5 miles, i'll let you guys know. we'll personally be out of queen mary chasing the bft around the 150 rigs in my parker which is a bit far for a yak.

Think twice about doing anything from the Dana Pt. ramp. Two thirds of day use parking is gone, probably for good.

Z and I had two spots of big BFT pop up near us last week. While Cod fishing in Dana Point. Within two miles of land. In 60.5 degree water. Near the end of December.

We are living in the upside down.

Its bogus. W the amount of boats and trailers alone I wouldnt call it a viable place to kayak launch --since its tuna season and all. I mean its local to me but I wouldnt use it as a 1st choice to launch anything now days. Baby Beach is free n easy though for a kayak.

Everyone play nice and try and hook one. Maybe the key is they bite best 1st week of January.

Yesterday I was flabbergasted as a tourist came in the shop - from Germany they had walked out on th Balboa Pier-- and shot some video of breaking fish on a ball of bait off the end of the pier-- in showing it to me we zoomed in-- breaking tuna--!

hoping for a weather window later in the week!..........if word they are sticking around.
