San Diego Bay Guided Kayak Fishing Trip

from our past trips
For those new to our sport or those wanting to start off on flatter
waters, our guided trips onto San Diego Bay are a great way to get your
feet wet. Because of the consistent action these trips are also a great
way to introduce your kids to kayak fishing.
When the conditions are right hundred fish days are not uncommon.
Besides the great fishing action bay fishing can be very relaxing, no
swells or waves to deal with and lots of beautiful scenery. It can be
quite impressive to fish right up next to an Aircraft carrier. Our catch
consists mainly of spotted bay bass, sand bass and halibut, but you may
also run into croaker, rays and even Bonefish. This is light tackle
fishing at its best.
We spend between six and eight hours teaching you the basics of kayak
fishing. We also cover all the safety issues involved in kayak fishing
as well as the issues specific to fishing and being safe in the bay.
Our one-day guided bay fishing trips are limited to four people per
guide. This will assure everyone gets plenty of individual
instruction.
The kayak, clothes and all fishing gear are provided. Participants must
provide a fishing license. We have several different models of kayaks
for all abilities of paddlers.
Fee for a one-person Weekday trip is $175
Two person $300
Three person $400
Four person $500
Add $50 per person to trips held on weekends

For the seventh year La Jolla Kayak Fishing has joined forces with hotel
Punta Colorada to bring you the ultimate kayak fishing adventure. Punta
Colorada located in the East Cape of Baja on the Sea of Cortez is one of
the finest fishing locations in the world. With a new fleet of Ocean

is one of the premier kayak fishing destinations available. La Jolla
Kayak Fishing will be running guided trips to Punta Colorada several
times a year. Trips fill fast so be sure to book early.

Surf Safety and Paddle Skills Class
We see more and more people that get into kayak fishing go head first
into the sport without learning the proper skills to keep them safe or
to just paddle efficiently.
More gear is lost or damaged, and more people run into trouble in the
surf zone than any other area in kayaking. For that reason we are
offering a three-hour surf survival, paddle and safety skills class with
one of our expert guides in San Diego.
We will teach you the proper techniques needed to launch and land a
loaded kayak through the surf. This is not a surfing class we are not
interested in catching waves, what we want is to get our expensive
fishing gear to and from the fishing grounds intact. Catching waves at
times in unavoidable and we will teach you how to handle that situation
when it arises. We also cover proper paddling techniques and many safety
aspects involved in kayak fishing such as self rescue, how to empty a
flooded kayak while on the water and many other things every kayaker
should know.
This is truly one of the more fun classes we do so be prepared to have a
great time and learn a lot. After this class you will be intimately
familiar with your kayak and you will be ready to tackle any
situation.
Fee is $75 per person with a minimum of three people and a maximum of
eight.
Kayaks can be provided for those that need them, bring your own if you
prefer. Wetsuits recommended as you will be getting wet. All classes
held at La Jolla Shores Jim Sammons will conduct La Jolla classes. Pre
registration and payment are required. Please download and fill out one
of our waivers.
We regularly do this as a group class but are available for private
lessons also. Dates of our group classes are posted on our upcoming
events forum.
