Mission Bay Spotty Report 01/11/16
 

Mission Bay Report: Monday January 11th, 2016.

Variable low sixties water temps slightly up from the storms and rains.
Clarity was actually pretty good & not too stained as days prior. The Spotty action had been slow at best with the past cold fronts. Monday was hopefully a better sign for us, if my torn up thumb wasn’t a good enough indicator! There wasn’t a warm up of appetite with the tides, but steady bites into the flood & well after Mission drained. High was @ 9:37am @ 6.4’. I found working the 7’-12’ transitional crown sections highly productive vs flats and beds, without the need to even hit the pilings for a round, as the bite didn’t die off. Sightfishing mostly out of the Hobie PA 12’ using the wind at my back & the tidal flow to bring me through the zone silently while ripping my offering. Typically I will change patterns up throughout the days conditions, but yesterday I kept on workin’ the same 1oz Project Z ChatterBait & Razor ShadZ trailer for the whole days session. Finally decided to upgrade my reel & was amazed at the difference Boca Bearings ceramics make compared to the stock ones!? Night & day difference. How long they last in comparison, is something I will have to get back to you on..Pitching plastics is my thing in case you haven’t noticed yet, so I decided to throw a new swimbait yesterday.
The RaZor ShadZ. 4.5” in Redbone Glow crazy ElaZtech action. Three segmented sections with four body pieces. ProCure for stink. It equated to a thirty fish + day with a couple good ones thrown in the mix! All Spottys. No bycatch. Lost two good ones ‘again’ due to letting my guard down daydreaming upon retrievals.:reel::doh:

Way to go! You found yourself some nice fish.

Thanks for cleaning up while you were out there. I grab everything I can while I'm out on the water. There has been a lot of trash after the recent storm.

nice fish, they weren't hitting the chatterbait for me today, water was 57 to 58, I was fishing around Mission Point. Lots of tumbleweeds in the water and on the shore. Most of the fish I caught today were in the 10" to 12" range trolling a plug in about 10 to 12 feet of water.

Good man, the trash can probably got washed out there during high tide.

Good job for sure

Another epic post Wade.


It's a shame about the Mission Bay 100,000 gallon + sewage spill. . . . http://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/loca...365364491.html

I was fishing by Mission Point, no signs down there, I wonder how long it will take for the bay to clean itself out?

Very cool Wade :luxhello:
