Hey all, I know things have slowed on the flat brown guys but does anyone have a recent update on the SD Bay? Are the Sand Bass here yet?? Any info would be greatly appreciated.... Haven't been on the water for 3 weeks and starting to feel frantic!!

Fished the Big Bay on Friday the 1st and caught Spotties , Lizards, and Mackerel..

All caught on plastics...

No Sandies yet..

The bass have been in the bay. Night bite is your best bet for a hog. Just watch for a night that has a hard ripping current. The faster the current is moving, the better the SB will bite. Don't be afraid to throw big baits. I use 5"-7" baits with 1.5oz-2oz lead heads. A lil unibutter or something never hurts either. Find a piece of structure and stick on it hard. A lot of effort involved, but I promise it will pay off. I make my own baits, and the color that gas produced the best this yr is white/tan/dark green combo
