The big bay after work 7-11 and 7-12

The tides were looking good for some after work fishing. I grabbed the yak Monday and went down to a rippin incoming tide and lot's of shit in the water. Kelp, eel grass, everything. Mats of kelp that would have made one hell of a paddy offshore. If you could cast between the crap in the water the fishing was good. Plenty of action and a wide variety of species. The bite was good until the tide stopped about 6:30pm. Called it a day and hit the beach around 7pm.

Fish count day 1

2 rattlers
12 grumpies
5 turd rollers
1 dink checker
2 small flatties
3 lizards


Turned out the wife had bunko Tuesday night and the kayak was still on the truck so I left work around 4pm and hit the bay about 4:30pm. Same as the day before but without all the stuff in the water. Wind and current were going the same way and it made the paddle to my spot a little tougher than normal.

I got to my spot and it was game on. The current was moving quick so you only got to cast on the spot and present the bait the right way one time before you flew by the spot. It didn't matter much as every cast produced a fish. The spotties were of good quality and fun to catch on the 8lb test. I even pulled a hali out of the spot. It was getting later in the afternoon so I decided to ride the tide back to the beach, fishing along the way. I caught numerous spotties and one hali that was right at 22 inches. Tossed her back to get bigger. Back at the beach at 7:30pm.

Enjoyed a good cigar each day and the fishing was great. Just another shitty day in San Diego!!!!

Fish count day 2;

19 grumpies
1 turdroller
3 flatties

All caught on artificials and all released
