Thank You

[CaptJamesNelson]

I really want to extend a huge Thank You to the SDFish community for bringing me on here.
Although I seem to be mostly a guitar builder these days, I haven't gone anywhere yet. I just renewed my Captain's License for another 5 years. Yes, I am still guiding. Expect pics and reports as the season progresses.

What’s the guitar called?

[CaptJamesNelson]

My guitar biz is Dood Craft Guitars.
I make mostly customs, but occasionally kick out stock. Currently ElCajon Guitars has a Baritone one in their shop.
Thanks for asking.
Do you play?

[camobass]

Yes, 31 years. I’ll look into it

Great stuff. Really digging the baritone. It’s been on my list. Been looking to convert one of my teles. That black ST baritone was killer!

[CaptJamesNelson]

Thanks. It still is killer. That's the one currently at ElCajon Guitars. Ask Frank to show it to you. I build a lot of conversion necks. Baritones are the way.

Greetings, skipper,

I look forward to learning from you about fishing SD Bay.

Thanks, Paul.
Anytime. Let me know.

Is that the old Musik Musik?

[CaptJamesNelson]

I am not sure. My old downtown El Cajon memories are vague at best.

Hi Captain,

In your experience, what sort of tides are best for fishing The Big Bay? I have had my best success fishing the incoming tide when there is a tidal exchange of 4 ft or more. Do tides effect the Back Bay the same way they do the area North of the Coronado Bridge? How about fishing the ebb tide? Do different lures/techniques work better during particular tide stages?

Thanks,

Paul

[CaptJamesNelson]

Paul,
Most of my scheduled trips as a guide do not include us picking and choosing tides. The customers have an itinerary once they are here, and flight schedules going home. Therefore, I have learned you can catch fish anytime. Tidal flow is always better, but when you are stuck in an ebb, I found that lighter lures, fished slower, slathered in UniButter, and/or tipped with meat, will get bit.
