Update on our trip...
To much surf for me...Although I did find out that you could launch from the east side of the strand out into the bay. Set out for some flat ones...nope! made a few drifts south of where I launched, nada.

So packed up headed back to the trailer... Enjoyed the location, even though no fish to show in the camera, finished up with a cold one a tall shot of T'killya, surf fishing...by the way nada again!

Until another day!

We camped there last summer and it was wall to wall people. The waves were small but we never launched from the beach.

If you can get your hands on a copy of the MAY 07 Western Outdoor News Magazine there's a GREAT article writen by Tony Pena about fishing the strand. You may be surprised!

I've surffished the bayside many times with live ghostshrimp and its always been great fishing no matter what time of the year. (the little lagoon is a dead area). Only thing on the ocean side is perch and rays.

I inderstand form the blogs that this place can get out a hand during the summer. I guess thats why the trolls at the gate give you the details "in detail" about the rules!

Hey, I am out to have a good time.. but not have to deal with the drunked fools who could ruin it for may family. We are going again in the spring a give it another go!

It is a nice location for fishing other places in San Diego but the problem is they lock the gate at night and do not open it till 8:00 am in the morning. If you are planning on fishing Shelter Island or Mission Bay you can't get on the water until after 8:00 am.
