SD Bay Bass - its what's for dinner

[Nic D]

the bass reg's are any combination of bass limit 5. so 3 spotties, 1 sandy and 1 calico would be your limit for a day.

hope this helps.

if you want to keep spotties thats your biz... but please take the ones 14-15" and not the 3LBers. Thank you

Nic meant the 14"-15"....They have to be at least 14 inches to keep since March of this year. 13 inchers will get you a large fine.

the San Diego bay is known for PCB's and other heavy metals...I am sure it would be considered a red zone bay...
if you are married or have kids practice catch and release...

Isn't halibut the worst when it comes to toxic/chemical concerns? They live on muddy/sandy bottom where pcb,mercury accumulated?

I've looked into it before..

Halibut are one of the better fish to eat. It's not only where they live but what they eat and how much fat they have.

Croakers are some of the worst to eat because they are very fatty and PCBs build up in the fat.

The bigger/older fish accumulate more toxins. It's better to eat smaller (legal) fish of any species than the larger ones.

Also, the higher up the food chain, the more mercury they have. Sharks have alot while shrimp are very low in mercury.


Just catch and release if you're concerned. The best part of fishing is fishing.

This has to be a joke? Spottie fillets?

Might as well get some DDT popsicles while you're at it.

I was told that if you eat spotties you will end up getting spots of your own
so I have avoided them. As for mercury that is nothing to mess with, had a buddy who ate his own canned tuna, fresh from ours and mexico waters get too much mercury in his system and he had to take nasty meds for a while...my advice just pay attention to your body after eating the fish, nothing is safe these days!!!
