Mission Bay Channel Fishing: Fishing New Baits!


Hey all!
I got a brief window to head out to Misson Bay for a 3 hour session. The last time I was out there I lost a massive halibut in the channel and was looking for some redemption. I also had an idea that I wanted to use some new lures and see how they worked compared to my normal stuff. I got out around 7 AM and I launched near the Bahia at the swim beach. After getting settled in my tube, I immediately tried some of the Berkley Paddleshad baits As well as a crank bait and a couple other things. I started with chartreuse on the small underspin head But quickly found that I was getting more bites on the white ones.

I ended up out there for three hours and Ended up getting 25 bass and 3 halibut. Two of the halibut were 18 inches and one was only around 10 inches. I had a lot of fun trying new baits, had a couple of delicious beverages and just an overall great time on the bay. Check out the video if you are interested in the details.

Cheers!

You need a bigger net

Seriously, great work as always and love seeing MB. I pass it by to fish the big bay and that’s probably my bad. I need to learn it living right up the hill.

I do have net issues. I’ve at least managed not to lose this one yet. I think I have to at least catch a fish that doesn’t fit into it before I replace it.

One thing that I like about tubing Mission Bay is that I don’t have to worry as much about giant fast moving boats not paying attention as long as I don’t head to the ski areas.

You are absolutely correct about calmer water. Some days on the big bay we can hardly stay on a spot with all the wakes…from jet skiers to small craft to tankers and navy ships. I definitely noticed the lack of that nuisance in your video

The main issue that I face in Mission Bay is the occasional sailboat or canoe race where they tell me I cannot be in the area due to the race. But that is only 1 or 2 times per year.
