Wanted to do a tide ride along the Coronado side of the big bay on Monday. Storm won't be here 'til Tuesday, right?

So I tied up some stuff and was ready to go.

Plan was to leave the truck near Crown Cove, portage to the Cays, and ride the tide down the bay, getting out ...

great report...the rain wreaks havok on a boat ...but a tube....good for you.

Thought I’d share a few pics of this beautiful female leopard shark we caught yesterday. Some of the coolest patterns I’ve ever seen on one! The Leo’s are thick in San Diego Bay right now and we have been catching multiple each trip in the South Bay

Mission Bay morning high tide for a couple hours. Caught 3 croaker,. 5 bass

Fished with Gotfish in the South Bay.

The small greenish ScorcherZ tube baits got most of the fish, a few bit a texas-rigged powerbait grub in a candy corn color. Nothing on the bucktails, underspins, tailspins ...

Always enjoy watching your video's! Thanks for this one

Thanks for sharing! And I’m always in awe of your balance. The bass lakes, minus Barrett, are on the verge of the summer doldrums so the bay here we come!!

Great video, thanks for the post and information!

Love how those sub pounders almost rip the rod outta your hands. And every photo angle is a postcard

I fished low tide 7:30 am to 10;00 am. It was very very low. Haven't seen that low in a long time. Caught 11 Bass.. fun morning. Bass were hitting crazy. Lot of bites I missed.

After the great testicular meltdown Tuesday, I decided to meet up with my buddy Randy for a waderless fishing excursion in Mission Bay. Man it felt good to fish in cool water and swim trunks.

We took off from Dana landing and went under the bridge back behind Sea World. Then we headed back all the ...

Nicely done

I grabbed my boat and made it to HB for my grandsons birthday. Ryan just turned 5 and I promised to take him fishing with his much older brother Caleb who's now 8. We traveled over to Newport Bay to try our luck so we launched in the back bay by Newport Dunes . As we left the ramp and it hadnt been ...

Packed the float tube and my new ghost shrimp pump and headed to Carlsbad lagoon for the first time.

Forgot to glue the handle on the pump, so there goes that plan.

Launched the tube at 6:30, it was very slow until sunset, then it was wide open until 8:30.A small ned rig Zman trd tossed in the eel ...

Those spotties fight well for their size, and you getting the quantity all the better....

Spent the weekend on my gayak. Covering serious miles ither n' yon. Trying for halis and veens mostly. Not too much success there. Lost a big one this morning in some rich person's backyard.

Spotties bit constantly on cranks, chatters, and worms.

Heard a noise hit my kayak and then splash while ...

Wish I had a better report but we still brought home ceviche and filet fixins. Hit the kelps just outside the Point and caught two quick checkerboards. Thursday dinner, check ✔️. The goal was at least 3 more for neighbors but things got pretty quiet at the top of the water column. Hit the Whistler ...

Checked off the necessities... Anything more would have just been gravy... WTG..
