Not my first time up there, and I had a plan. Had I stuck to it...might have got more fish.
Step one..be there at sunrise. Step two..don't go deep.
I went right to step 3. Got 8 spotties on various plastics. Better size than the South Bay rats.
The big one was nearly 15 inches, but didn't get a decent pick.
And you know how some fish won't pose with their fin up....and they look tiny when your big fat hand's in for foreground? Like this sweetheart...
Here it is on the apron. This chode was was a solid foot long.
Probably the heaviest foot-long spotty I've ever caught.
Happy trails.....
Upper Bay for a change....

Can tell from the head shape how beastly that fish in first photo is. Nicely done.
