Nice video. No mediocre music in the background and good tips.

Replace the weight with a 1/4 ounce jig head and a curly tail or paddle tail grub and you get spotties in between the halibut, plus halibut will bite the grub too. And you can foul hook more rays if you are into that.

We fished south bay today - south of National City. I was actually surprised that there was less stuff floating around than I expected. Trash and debris that is. We ran into lots of floating eel grass as well a patches of other organic material.

Various types of plastic bag appear year round and as ...

This still works great as it is still a relative guide to use if it being in a kayak, float tube, SUP, rental boat or a friends boat (who doesn't have a good FF);

That map is amazing! Been using it about a year all over San ...

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 ...

San Diego Anglers is hosting it's 24th Annual Open Bay Bass Tournament in San Diego Bay at Shelter Island. It will be different this year in a number of ways. It will be held at the Outboard Boating Club at the top of Shelter Island launch ramp and it will be a catch, measure and release tournament ...

Started at sunrise. Hit the mooring field while waiting for friends. I was throwing a skunk buster 3/8 oz tube and had 5 by the time they got on the water. Great day of fishing out there with the wind and swell. Ended the day with 20 spotties, 1 ugly ass guitar fish, 3 halibut (1 being legal that ...

Usually have 50+ days on the bay a year but today was only my second time out in 2024. Had a friend in town who's a beginner and always wants to get on the water when he's around, especially since I started taking him to the bay instead of lakes.

Rented a boat at Seaforth in Coronado and headed ...

My daughter came back from Santa Barbara for the summer. We have been fishing together since before she could walk. She missed Father’s Day and asked if we could hit the bay as a late celebration.Duh!! We grabbed a skiff from
Seaforth and headed out. Started north of the bridge for a steady pick for ...

Curious what time and if there was a tide in or out when you were catching everything by the strand near the end. I want to hit the bay on a week day and need to try and time the drive either before or after rush hour. I’m from Alpine and rush hour ads about an hour to the commute.


I usually ...

https://youtu.be/6P8iFkDb6G8

OK, so the doldrums of summer have begun at the lakes and bass fishing is hit and miss. After having an absolutely amazing spring time fishing the lakes and getting lots of nice bass I figured it was time to head back to the ...

It was a super fun day for sure. The background made it easy to have a postcard background. I do love light line fishing though. Even the smaller ones feel like monsters!

I love watching your video's :)

I went out on the bay yesterday for the first time in years. Got on the water at 9am and went to these very same spots (based on your earlier video) with my 6 yr old grandson who's never been on the bay. Still don’t have all the SW gear I need, been mostly fishing ...

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 ...

nice work! thanks for sharing beautiful photos

Nice pics

My wife and I ventured out of the bay for the first time in a very long time this morning. It was froggy with some decent swell. After about 2 hrs of trolling/jigging and one small calico to show for it, we decided to try our luck with the spotties. Didn’t dawn on me that this is the busiest weekend ...

Hadn't been out for 4 months and I finally made it out Saturday afternoon. Fished from 5PM to 7PM and my buddy and I caught about 45 spotties. Fished just south of the bridge in about 15 feet of water. All fish caught on 3/8 oz jigheads and 4 inch shad tails. We first tried off the cays, but didn't ...

If you buy squid bring a sabiki and tip the hooks with it, you may be able to catch smelt or the preferred mackerel to use as bait
