Any thoughts on fishing J Street in SD Bay?

[Baja_Traveler]

Last time I was down there I watched two guys catching bonefish on ghost shrimp midway down the dike on the main bay (in a skiff). I tried and tried with the fly rod, but only bass and croaker were interested in my offering.
A conservation guy driving his truck on the dike stopped and talked to me - the fly rod attracted his attention - he told me that the guides regularly bring clients out and fish just off the big cement piles on the dike and catch bonefish with regularity there. He was out trapping crows and ravens, who would otherwise raid the plover nests.

I like it there alot, and odds are you will be fishing all by yourself...

I was born and raised in chula vista and have been fishing south SD Bay for years. Its a fun fishery. Mostly spotted bass, but many other species as well. Over the years I've caught only 2 bone fish on plastics. But with ghost shrimp, or even raw shrimp from a market, you can expect to catch a few on most trips. Mike

Your phone is not working at all when I try to call you or text you.

Call me when you get a chance.

What dike are you talking about?
