Yep-

Rented a Skiff out of Coronado and fished the bay. Caught a legal Halibut [no picture as she wasn't cooperating] a sick Sculpin several deep spotties and a skiff pulling batray....We were looking for sand bass but to no avail.

Spotties on Texas rigged worm.
No love on the lucky craft.

Nice going, heck of a catch

That's a nice corvina...

Nice fish. Never had a ray make a run of more than a few feet. Often when hooked on a ray, I initially thought I was snagged on the bottom only to realize the snag moved slowly.

Heck of a fish. Great table fare. Let us know how you prepare it.

Tthe big ones can get up and go. We call them “Mud Tuna” up here in Newport. Great practice for real Tuna…

Excellent picture!

I don’t have much experience cooking fish yet, so we kept it easy and made some fish tacos. My kids loved the whole experience! I can see why everyone raves about corvina. I’ll keep it a little simpler with the rest ...

I got there around 3PM which was mid tide. I used a Carolina rig with 1" curly tail grub. 6 calico bass (no keepers) on pumpkin red flake and 1 (not a keeper) on translucent yellow with red flake. 1 opaleye on tan with black and light blue flake. Saw no one else catch anything. Lots of weeds but ...

Geez, with a title like that I was expecting to hear you say you got 4 or 5! I fished Saturday, murky water no current, slow for me as well. But then again my best days usually sound like others’ off days😉 I love my raft but I don’t like dock hopping, spend more time repositioning than fishing. Out ...

Hit the south bay this morning and fished the big tide. Friend and I got about 70 spotties. Caught them on 1/4 and 3/8 jigheads and MC Swimbaits. Most fish came in less than 12 feet of water.

Went out with the Mrs. this morning. Fished the area I should have fished last weekend after seeing a few promising posts this week. Bite was hot up to the slack tide, then wasted some time looking around. Came back to the south Cays area after a while for a steady pick. Clicker read 41 when we ...

Thanks for the post! I was going to write my own but I will just add to this one. That was an epic day on the water and not even half of the fish we caught made my video. I can't wait to get out there again soon. Cheers!

Decided on a rare trip to the salt. Not my usual because I have so much tied up in my fresh water gear and the salt doesn't exactly play well with them. Still i figured a sh!t ton of thorough rinsing should take care of it for one trip.

I put in at J street marina and fished the grass and dropoff ...

Was a great day on the water even if it was a bit “slower” than usual this time of year. Was still able to land at least 30 bass. They were a big fan of the small size chatter baits paired with a 3 inch fluke as a trailer.

Ended with 5 bones with the biggest being 20 inches which was a great fight ...

Great job!!

Hit the lagoon down the street this morning. Wanted to see how the Bixby would handle eel grass and maybe catch a couple fish. Bixby worked pretty well, but i did have to stop once to clear the prop (Old Town pedal drive needed at least 5 clearings every time in the lagoon). Love how the battery ...

With Summer like weather for most of the month the Bay has been fishing more like March then January. Water temps are 3-4 degrees above where they would normally be and the fishing has been excellent on days with good tide movement. Had a fishing for Bonefish last week with close to 40 Bonefish over ...
