X2 what D said.....shelter island and san diego bay is surrounded my a huge navy base and leaky fuel tanks that have been there for 70 or 80 years....not to mention all the ship yards in the area...ohh yeah and the strand and most of S.coronado (the kays) are built on an old city dump....I would not eat anything caught in any southern californa bays.

Those spotties and sand bass are great fighters and fun to catch but just not something you want to eat more than once in your life. Instead wait until you go out to LJ, keep a calico or two....or better yet go for some rock fish, they are much tastier! or even better WSB and YT!!!

As for your fish storage problem, for bass I would keep them in my live well, or gut and gill them and put them in my beer cooler...burlap sacks always work too!
