Indeed I will throw them my buddy told me was dead sat for him so maybe lull period

I wanted to go out there, seeing all the high numbers of fish catches made me think it would be slow cause the fish had already been caught and probably stressed. I hit up Miramar instead....got 3 missed bites on a minnow out there and that was it. Normal spots fish were gone. It's sucked, wish I went to cap. Tried bank angling at santee. Got 1 mega dink all day. It's like I forgot how to fish. Gonna switch up my line up drastically and see what happens, maybe hit cap this next weekend. Lost my wheel last time I was out there at the dock.

Thanks for the report. The Indians have free range back there.
It has to be fall, is changing them. We still have find them. There is no way fishing pressure has anything to do with it. It's more like they are in shock from the lack of pressure.
