![]() I met Jackie and Bob at Tidelands Park on Coronado Island in San Diego Bay at 5:30 A.M. We launched a little after 6:00. We paddled over to the area between the moored sailboats and the bridge and started fishing. Jackie was kind enough to let me have a couple of Big Hammer swimbaits that had been working well for her and Bob lately. I am a believer in them too because I landed a keeper halibut on one of them in the first 10 minutes! He was too close to call on the length, so I let him go. I paddled over to the flat by the Anfib base. I caught a few spotties right away. I switched colors with my spinnerbait from firetiger to chartreuse and the fishing picked up big time! I nailed well over a dozen spotties trolling and casting the spinnerbait in a short time! I switched back over to the swimbait and caught more than I could count until both of baits were destroyed. I picked up a short halibut around 12 inches and a bunch more bass. To be honest, I don't know exactly how many spotties I landed today. I lost count after about 15. Probably 30+ with about half a dozen being tournament legal. It was good fishing today! We were all hooked up constantly. One time we had a triple hookup! Jackie definitely caught the most today. The fish were definitely happy to see her leave ! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Robert |

There 'ya go. Next weekend we're supposed to fish the tourney in Newport. What to do....What to do....What to do. Stay and fish Newport and get a dozen or so fish, or come down to SD and score alot more fish? So many fish, so little time...

Robert,
Great fishing with you this morning, here’s a pic that Jackie took of your halibut. ![]() ![]() Jackie’s had one heck of a catching weekend scoring three halibut today and countless SBB and sandbass yesterday and today. Here’s a sampling of the lips she ripped. ![]() ![]() ![]() One of our stops I saw this fin splashing the surface. Turns out it was this toad of a sandbass struggling to survive, I tried reviving only to see it surface again. Tried three times to help this fella get his wits about him but in the end I’m not sure he made it. ![]() Here’s my large spotty of the day. ![]() The sun finally came out as we were beaching the yaks around 11:45. The party at the park was in full swing. BC |

No offense to Newport, but it's nowhere near San Diego Bay for quality and quantity. Especially lately. Next weekend will be some tough fishing.
