Fishing Description

There are multiple locations to fish from this launch site. Padding directly south to the flats between the Ingraham and West Mission Bay Drive bridges produce excellent spotted bay bass fishing in the summer. The eel grass beds behind Bahia Point (west side) and the docks are also excellent targets for big spotties. A mix of sand bass are also found in these areas and calico bass have been caught here as well. Halibut are common off the sandy point and on the flats between Bahia and Vacation Island.
