Rainy Saturday At Tidelands
 

Pretty windy morning. I paddled out about 300 yards off the bridge and the wind blew me back to the golf course in a few minutes. I caught this little flattie right off the beach next to the golf course.

I paddled out to the same spot off the bridge, it is where the bottom drops off about 10 feet, between the 9 and 10 column about 300 yards off the bridge.

The wind blew me under the bridge real quick. Each time, a little spottie hit just on the other side of the bridge.

This went on for 3 more drifts and 3 more spotties. The wind was blowing me so fast that I had to paddle back to the starting point every time.

Then all of a sudden it started pouring. The rain came down hard for about 10 minutes. After that, the wind stopped, the water was glassy smooth, and the bite stopped.

I sat in still water for another hour with nothing doing, and went home, cold, wet and happy.

Thanks for the report! Nice job sticking it out with the bad weather :)

Very cool! Tidelands is still one of my more favorite spots in the bay to fish!

looks like a fun day on the water even with the wind and rain

I forgot to mention that I just picked up some new Stohlquist dry pants at the Kearny Mesa store. Those things worked like champs. I was totally soaked on the outside, but the trunks that I had on under the pants were completely dry.

Rik at the Kearny store was a big help. Thanks.
