Spoke with a friend of mine. It looks like Newport's Coast Guard Beach for a few of hours on Thanksgiving morning. Come join us! See you on the water!

Where do you launch at Irvine? Any fees? What time will you get there?
Have you tried the flies from the yak? |

Cashe,
I figure we'll be launching around 6:30a.m. Most fishing will be primarily from the Coast Guard Station to the Bait Barge. Possibly paddling out into open water for a short time. I don't see us staying more than 3 hours or so. Hopefully you can make it out with us. Just look for the green pontoon kayak and that'll be me. Hank

Pontoon Kayak? What's that? Or is it a float tube?

No. It's a kayak. Aussie Kiwi Angler. Here's a pic. Not the best shot but it's all I have.

Seaslug,
I usually launch below where the camping is when I hit Irvine Lake. I know the water level is down and I haven't been there yet this year, so I'll have to play it by ear until I see it. The fees are $20 to get in, plus an additional $5 to launch a float tube or kayak. They have a pretty decent website with the info on it at http://www.irvinelake.net Hope this helps, Perry

Out Thanksgiving morning, 0630 - on water about 0700 - Hank & Joe beat me out. Eric out on float tube plus brothers Russ & Dennis?
Fished Coast Guard to where the Bait Barge was. Joe & Hank went outside the breakwater and got mackerel. I had some small bumps (no hookups) and finally caught one small octopus. Off water by about 0930. Great water. |
