Mission bay 8/3

[Rj576]

Haven't posted on here in a long time. Finally, I have the chance to start fishing again more than a few times a year. Was out on Mission Bay from 6am to about noon. Bite died at about 10am. Got a total of 28 unless you count the 9 lizardfish. A mixed bag 2 yellowfin croaker, 1 sculpin, 15 (2 legal size) spotties, 10 calico. Overall a good day on the water. Most were caught on the underspin and on gulp minnow.

Nice variety! What kind of rig are you using for your spinning combo?

The rod is a Cadence CR5 Medium fast 7' and the reel is 3000 size. Can't give you specifics for it, the writing has rubbed off and I can't remember. I had it spooled with 10lb braid with 6lb flouro leader. I had a 3/16oz underspin with a 3in gulp minnow tied on.

Thanks! I finally dialed in the combo that I purchased for rock hopping the jetties here in LA, and I'm glad I went with the slightly heavier rod, as these fish love digging into the rocks upon hookset and getting their head turned is of upmost priority.

Thanks again for the report.

No, unfortunately not. they were all pretty small 10"-11" were as big as they got.

Yeah, I fish heavier when I'm fishing around hard structure. But if I'm fishing grass, I have a lot more fun with the lighter setup.
