San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Fun day at Otay yesterday. The weather was beautiful and the water temp was 58. My final count was 11, nothing huge, but fun anyway.

Most came on a jig, or Ned bait with a couple of underspin fish thrown in for fun. Basically I worked the banks and points all along between the boat launch down to the end of Otay arm, and caught them at various places along the way.

I hadn't been to Otay for a couple of months so it was nice to get back out there.

Never know where you are going to pop up! Nice!

Getten it done nicely! How's the water level there? In or out of the tules?

Way out of the tules. The water level is low, but boats can still launch.

Looks like you had more fun than fishing Murray ha ha ha. Thanks for sharing and tight lines

Sounds like a great day! What depth was best for you?

10 to 15 feet. They seemed to like areas adjacent to steeper drop offs.

Does it seem like the city is trying to kill boating on our lakes? Sheesh!!
