Mission Bay 02-17-2024
 

Meh, I'm not a real fan of fishing MB, don't know the where and the how. My buddy however is in the Spotty Bowl and wanted to pre-fish it.

Day started out fairly nice weather wise but eventually the wind kicked things up a notch, but not too bad. Water was a tad muddy, lots of weeds and debris as well.

Since my friend needed to use just lures, I figured I'd try that but being a bait guy I went ahead and got some sardines. They were a good size and in fair condition.

Started off with Hook Up Baits, migrated to a Warbaits/Big Hammer setup after a bit, no love there. I switched over to live bait and drifted around the bait barge harbor a bit. Managed to land a Halibut, an inch short, but it was a halibut. And that was it, for the whole day. My friend, and his friend, got a whopping one spotty each all day.

I think I'll pass on his next pre-fish there.

Sounds like a tough day of fishing:reel:
But atleast you made it out! - Hydrotherapy :reel:

Indeed! And I'm heading out again tomorrow or Saturday, but not to Mission bay.

:D:D:D
