Default Re: Tidelands (San Diego Bay) 4/22

Robert,

Thanks for the invite we sure had a great time. First time trying one of the Reebs lures and I get slammed and taken for a ride. It was a give and take battle for close to a half hour but in the end my bay rod didn’t have enough backbone to get what ever it was off the bottom and the line broke.

This was the start to a very unusual day on the bay. After making a couple of stops in the channel for a few spotties, Jackie and I followed Robert to the flats on the south side of the Coronado bridge. Here we busted out the spinner baits and I started to whack them the right away. I must have caught 8 or 9 on 10 casts. I get a call from Jackie to come over check out what she just caught. I’m speechless, anybody know what this is? Whatever this is got a little pissed and started squirting ink or something.


I get the mystery thing off the hook and we make a move. I switched to a MC swimbait and Jackie continued using a spinnerbait. Couple minutes later I get another excited call from Jackie letting me know she got her first halibut! And on a spinnerbait no less!


As Robert said, the wind picked up and we headed in. Not sure how may spotties I caught, somewhere between 15 to 20 - I lose track after a while. Jackie caught the mystery thing, a halibut and around 15 give or take a few spotties.

Another nice day on the big bay.
