San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Finally got into some nicer fish at Murray. Final count was 5. All fish were over two pounds with one going 3.5 and another was 4.5. It really was a beautiful early December day.

Nice to have a day that wasn't a total dinkfest

deep or shallow?

All at around 15 feet. Had to practically dead stick the jig with occasional little twitches.

Interesting! Had a guy at EC tell me that the fish there hang around about 15' all winter.

Solid job Dan!
I know they are deeper too in the winter there. I have had some success in the past on spoons under bait balls that I located on 2d sonar.

Yeah I've seen them schooled under bait balls there on my down facing, but I really need a course on spoon fishing because I don't honestly have a clue how to fish them lol.
