Title: Sunset Bay AOTD - Aug. 25, 2018
Post by: Ling Banger on March 16, 2018, 12:22:06 AM
I don't want to steal any thunder from CBY, but it's up on Facebook now, so...

SBAOTD is going to be August 25th. I booked a spot today at the state park and there are about 30 tent sites left. If you are planning to join the party of the year for the South Coast crew it would behoove you to secure your campsite soon.

I'll be bringing my aspergillum and thurible to 27 in the Degenerate Loop if you have any special lures you would like me to bless/curse prior to the festivities.  :wave:

If Sunset fills up try Bastendorff.

Booked a campsite (rv site) at the Oceanside RV resort. Can't wait for this event! It's been one of my favorites.

The tournament starts at 6:00AM and the measure-in ends at 2:00 pm. This is a point based competition with points per inch values assigned to all the species available to catch on the fishing grounds. The largest single fish from each category will count towards your total. The angler with the most points wins!

Glad you're going to make it!

If you study a map the main fishable structure is pretty clear - if conditions permit the trip to Simpson Reef that's a good place to be, otherwise you can find fish just outside of Sunset Bay towards Baltimore Rock (see Google Maps, etc.). That should get you started. If you can pre-fish then obviously experiment and you'll find some good spots of your own I'm sure.

I've only been to the lighthouse cove three times but have caught four species right there just randomly jigging a variety of jigs. The bay itself seems pretty fishless. I was one of the few to get skunked last year and hope not to repeat that again. But then, I stayed near the bay because of how rough it was last year.

I am all paid up for myself but I believe I will be bringing my little fishing buddy with me so I will have to pay for him when we get there.  This will be his first time in the ocean so we may just stay in the bay unless it's a "Ray Day" on the ocean.  Either way we'll have a good time!  We'll be at site B16 at Sunset Bay State Park.
See you all there!  :banjo:

The wife and I will be camping at Oceanside RV Resort which is just down the road from the state park, we couldn't get a site at the state park unfortunately... No Will this year, he's actually down in Arizona for a year while his wife finishes up school down there. It'll be good to see you guys too. Hopefully the conditions aren't quite as sporty this year   ;D

Just for clarification for us newbies, it looks as Simpson reef extends clear down to the south cove below Cape Arago, is that correct?
Title: Re: Sunset Bay AOTD - Aug. 25, 2018
Post by: Captain Redbeard on August 20, 2018, 08:23:34 AM
I'm not an expert on the area but most people fish on the north side of the main Simpson Reef outcropping. I don't know what the technical bounds are. If you don't get a response here Roy can answer that at the captain's meeting Friday night.

Post by: Tinker on August 20, 2018, 09:40:00 AM
I think you're right about most of us staying to the North.  I see no advantage for me to paddle past 100,000+ seals and sea lions to reach the southern end of the reef when there are plenty of fish to be caught up North.
Title: Re: Sunset Bay AOTD - Aug. 25, 2018
Post by: Matt M on August 20, 2018, 11:29:00 AM
I would agree, I made the mistake one time of pedaling to the south side and it was not better fishing than on the north side of it. If the conditions allow I will be fishing the north side.

That's my understanding also. The south end of the reef has a lot of barely submerged structure, especially at low tide, so it is wise to maintain a high degree of situational awareness when fishing that area.
