Nice conditions this AM notwithstanding a fairly strong surge from the SW swell. I'd like to think it was responsible for the lethargic activity. Just a lot of taps & bait stealing from dinks in the nursery. Could not get a decent hit on mussel meat, dried lugs nor Gulp sand worm. Picked off a couple that I could hardly feel on the hookup. Only decent bite was on a HBB 2" grub for a 9 incher. Lot of sc beds starting to appear but just BB & pellet size, too small to get on a hook. Soon hopefully.

Thanks for the report! Sounds like tough bite conditions in dink city.

I was down there this morning to. I got 3 small ones
Last one was on a power bait trout worm. Orange.

Got guitarfish, small ray, and legal hali on Torrey Pines today, everything on LC 110.
Guitarfish was pulling like a freight train, took good 5 minutes of fighting to land.

Congrats on the legal and other critters. I may try Black's tomorrow. Yesterday afternoon I saw many deep pockets along a wide stretch during low tide.
