Oceanside Reefs

[basssnifer951]

Good evening. I am looking to possibly yak fish the artificial reefs outside of the Oceanside harbor.. if this is a sensitive topic for location, someone please let me know and I will delete this ASAP I was wondering what the best setups to use are? Swimbaits? Has anyone had luck there? This will be my first time out in the ocean, I’ve fished the Carlsbad lagoon a lot, and the harbor a couple times. But never headed outside the mouth. Thank you in advance. Have a good evening.

You may have this info already ,https://wildlife.ca.gov/Fishing/Ocean/A ... eefs/Guide , has GPS numbers and distances from harbors that may help decide where to go for first trips . Basically the same outfits used at any location . Bait , Jigs , leadheads , all should work . Stay safe out there . Good luck !

I already have all the coordinates saved in my OnX app since I don’t have a fish finder yet. Thanks for the response!

If you have a little bait tank try and catch some greenback mackerel with a sabiki and fish them on a dropper loop

This time of year leadhead with a squid on it makes for a better day. Fish slow whatever you do
