Sounds like you had a spectacular day. Awesome r&r. It's good to change it up. Sometimes with fishing, we get tunnel vision, go hard and chase the trophy to burnout. The place looks nice at daybreak. I need to spend some time there.

nice post and great mixed bag.
I love this shot. Reminds me of the wetlands up north.

Great report. South SD bay is a gem. A true 365 day a year light tackle fishery. Vina are a "trout' like speckled n grays on the east coast. Harry, the corvina we have here are short fin and don't get near as big as the orange mouth that, so sadly, used to live in the salton sea. Short fin are found all along the pacific side of Baja and in the gulf, I think. Orange mouth are limited to the northern part of the gulf. Mike

Mike, thanks for the clarification. Are they still good to eat? The orangemouth were great. That was a great report though and it gets me even more fired up to get on the salt. Mission Bay used to be a great place to catch sand dabs, another fish I love to eat. I hope to meet you on the water some day,
Harry

The short fin corvina are good eating. Maybe not as good ad the orange mouth, but good. Mike
