Thanks, Hilary. How does the drop in temp change your fishing strategy? Hit the bays instead of the surf? Hmmm...

Im hoping this switches on the spotty bite. The colder the water gets the more I seem to land.

I was bummed when I looked at the buoys, hopefully there's enough season left to warm it back up

Fish is still biting ok in the surf. Hit LJ yesterday for a 2 hour session and landed 7 or 8 including a 16in calico, a decent sargo, and some others (smaller calico, sheep, kelpfish, Garibaldi, etc)Neuroshima wrote: Wed Aug 23, 2023 9:08 am Scripps Aug Temp.jpg

Water got cold about a week before Hilary, I had to switch back to my full suit for surfing before the storm. The bite has been really slow everywhere I've been in North county outside of the tide maxing or bottoming out. Dusk has been okay too, dawn has been lackluster.

Looks like it's been warming up.

Temps may drop a degree or two again for a few days from a mild NW wind swell passing through.

This is even better than Solunar Tables for explaining why the bite was slow. Water was too cold or too warm. Now if I could just find a way to predict when the bite was going to be good instead of an excuse for a slow bite.
Got 17 spotted bay bass at Tidelands this morning. Was doing well until the drizzle started so that must be the reason the bite stopped. Other days, the bite turns on when the drizzle starts. If only I could predict a hot bite as good as I can explain a slow one!

We're you with Bill? I had a birthday party to attend to, otherwise would have joined you. I also never do well during a full moon.Gotfish? wrote: Sat Sep 02, 2023 4:52 pm This is even better than Solunar Tables for explaining why the bite was slow. Water was too cold or too warm.

I went south of the bridge, I don't think Bill went very far south.Neuroshima wrote: Sun Sep 03, 2023 8:25 amWe're you with Bill? I had a birthday party to attend to, otherwise would have joined you.
