Has anyone paddled out to San Jose Island from PA? I've been thinking about it but don't know if it's private...

That's pretty cool. Saltyakr, you ought to look into whether they'd let you carry your kayak along with your gear. I have power-boated out and around the end of jetties to fish the surf there in PA and at Sabine and Calcasieu jetties. The surf fishing always seems to rock in places with limited beach access and less pressure.CorpusKeith wrote: I believe there is a fishing ferry from Port A to the San Jose side. Runs on the hour I think. Some people take the last one out at night and spend the night fishing.

hmmm... might have to look into that instead. I'd feel more comfortable leaving my vehicle at the jetty boat instead of at the jetties.Yaklash wrote:That's pretty cool.

Not to mention the ferry ride is safer than the 400 + yard paddle across a ship channel.saltyakr wrote:Yeah leaving my vehicle at the jetty boat sounds better and safer than leaving it by the jetty.
I was out on St. Jo a few weeks ago. Good fishing and really clean / not crowded. You could paddle across and haul your kayak over the jetty to the beach if you want to save yourself a few bucks. You can also talk to the jetty boat operators and (if the ferry is not crowded) they might mothership your yak. However, the jetty boat landing on the St. Jo side is not close to the beach. It's about 1/4 mile you'd have to carry/pull your yak and gear.saltyakr wrote:Cool. Thanks. Other than the ferry, I can't find anything that says I shouldn't be out there. I was thinking about paddling out there carrying the yak over the jetty and doing some surf fishing.
