Nice good job great to see u again I did not find the afternoon biting fish just the morning again great job

Thanks for sharing your adventure at Otay.
Looks like you had some fun from looking
at the pics. Those cats really fight like heck
and find ways to get unbuttoned.
Tight lines :-)

Awesome to see you out there this morning Robert. I had a really great day out there today as well!! Good to see you getting some kayak action. You'll get that pesky cat one of these days :)

I use a phenix classic bfs rod paired w curado bfs bait casting reel on 10 braid and 8 fluro leader for Dropshot and also 2nd bfs rod and reel same pound test for neko senco and robo

I think bfs should b fishing on advanced mode with light line tiny hooks boy is it fun to actually have to tire the fish out and not just ski the fish in

Nice job!
You beat me catching a bass on a black worm. I don’t think I’ve caught a bass on a black worm at Miramar ever. I guess growing up I used to always hear that black worms work best in stained water so I guess since the water was so clear I always used other colors. Anyway, thanks for ...

Yeah during day that place scares me if I get there late but before light I go strait to moes hole throw against the concrete wall caught my biggest fish there the better fish will only bite Texas or I use neko now before 7-8am smart fish there
