No teaser, Steve. Just a fun afternoon in the San Diego Bay. My monster Halibut upgrade was added, though, in my "Welcome" post. It was also added to my April subs as well. Not exactly a monster either; just a little 'ol twenty-eight pounder! My spots are still holding the barn doors, but if it dries up I'll just find another one. The ocean is loaded with treasure, but the map is often hard to read.

The Cobra kayak was a blast! The kayak met the minimum requirements of a fishing kayak for me: the ability to float! Getting back to the simplest form of kayak fishing was kind of nice. I'm not knocking the guys who choose to do this all the time, but it's a big difference from what I do everyday. For lack of a better word, simple.

No need to cover twenty miles in a day scanning the ocean for trophy fish. No need for a $1,000 High definition sonar, g.p.s., radio or $2,000 worth of fishing gear along for the ride. Your talking about paddling for a minute, making a cast and catching fish. I brought one rod with 8 lb mono. I used the same soft plastic I had tied on from years prior and didn't bother to retie my knot. As expected, the ferocious Spotted Bay Bass and Halibut didn't mind one bit.

Photos of specific soft plastic that were used? An excerpt from the movie Jerry McGuire: Show me the $$$$$$$

I can't either; it's going to be sick!

All Spotted Bay Bass were unharmed in the making of this fishing report. I've found out that Halibut will eat anything that fits in their mouth, though.

I would have brought beer, but I had to use a paddle this day. Which just made my next trip with the pedals that much more fulfilling. After being on the Pro Angler for the past few trips, I damn near fell out of the boat when I set the hook on that first spottie!

Yes, San Diego Bay is an exclusive fishing club with an astringent filtering process; with a go big or go home attitude attached. I was just passing through---have at it. It's yours for the taking!

My secret Halibut spot is always moving; which is a good thing.

You always bring a wealth of knowledge with your posts. All this time I thought turdrollers were Sand Bass. Thanks.

Anyone else notice Josh posing a LITTLE more in his photos lately?


It almost looks like he is in love or sumthin'

Must be all the women at the beach admiring his BASS!
Here's hoping you get to pose a little more with nice sized Bass.

The Halibut was wearing lip jewelry, which I kept. No Halibut were harmed in the making of this post. Briefly blinded by the flash, but otherwise happy as can be.

Go get 'em, boys!
