I would stay away from SD bay. There are idiot PB's there on a regular basis. So with that said, I can't imagine was the 4th is going to look like. Looks like be fishing vicariously through you Friday. Hope we hook up.

Was thinking about doing a very early LJ sesh on the 4th. However, i will be saving it for Sunday which will still be a circus but hopefully not as bad.

Haha yeah... I think we're gonna scrap the yak idea. I really wasn't in favor of it in the first place. Hanging out at OB with my buddies is gonna be cool enough.

But hey, you guys, holla at me the next time you go out of LaJolla and wouldn't mind me tagging along. I could really use the company of someone who wouldn't mind showing me the ropes of BTB fishing. I'm not looking for any spots or secrets -- but it would be really good having someone point out things I may want to think about or be aware of that'd help me stay reasonably safe and healthy!

I will probably wait and maybe try to get a reservation down S.D. Or LJ next Wed.- Fri. This weekend I'll have a pizza some ice cream and make a B-B-Q chicken salad and stay in bed! I'll let every one else have the roads and water!

This way I retain my life and sanity!

I prefer to enjoy the waters a couple days after the holidays so that the fish have a chance to recover from the "Hammering" they're going to experience during a holiday!

I would go to Chula Vista as you will have the least amount of boat traffic anywhere in san diego bay or mission bay. Not many hot babes around though! If you get there at 6Am that is when it opens and you will find plenty of parking at the launch ramp. I like to launch at bayside park which is off the beach north of the boat ramp. You are not going to find a lot of boat traffic at all but there will be plenty of picnic folks so get there early. Get some ghost shrimp and go for the bonefish.
