Re: bassin' tips
Hobb3s93,
I don't use braided line for any of my bass fishing. In the bays (San Diego & Mission) I use 2 different rigs. A medium action 6lb spinning setup for drop shotting and working plastics and a 7ft medium heavy stiff bait casting setup
for fishing spinnerbaits and jigs with 10lb line. If you want to catch lots of bass
the easy way give drop shotting a try. On your 6lb spinning outfit tie on a 2oz
torpedo sinker. About 18-24 inches up the line tie on a #4 Owner Mosquito hook
and pin on a 2" Gulp New Penny Shrimp in new penny or nuclear chicken colors.
Drop the rig down to the bottom and put your rod in the rod holder and start a drift. The sinker needs to maintain contact with the bottom. This technique is deadly on the bass in San Diego Bay out deep in the channels. As far as San Diego being a 2 hr drive from where you are at... True, but no place on the entire West coast has the spotted bay bass fishing that San Diego Bay and Mission Bay has. If you were to get into one of the wide open bites that happen quite often on these two bodies of water you will probably want to move down to the "619". It's that good. Many times I have caught so many spotties that I couldn't begin to count them all. Both of my thumbs were bleeding.
