Otay May 27
Posted: Tue May 28, 2024 7:10 am
Otherwise known as I’m ready for this May weather to go away. Arrived just after the gate opened and second to launch. Except we didn’t. It was near white capping straight from the east and darn chilly. Gave it 30 minutes and headed out. First stops were all along the eastern wind protected side of the main and Otay arms, not the plan. Plenty of calmer spots with fishy looking cover but only tagged one on the tule’s edge. When Harvey finally settled down we headed back along the southern banks. Many of boats that preceded me were literally buried up in the tules, I suspect for wind relief. We did bag another and found some bites for the girl but had to run about 10am. I threw flylined senkos and got her to try them as well. Setting the hook hard enough likely kept her from catching some. I also saw only one bass hit the surface all day. It was beautiful out there as usual and tons of bird watching to keep her happy but I’m tired of wearing 3 layers to fish! P.S. yes those are the burn scars on the carpet and hull from my new cover fiasco. Everything checked out ok but noticed the trolling motor head had started to melt right as we discovered the fire. Whew!
