If you were near to Dana Point and wanted to catch a bunch of fish, go behind the bait receivers, cut up some dead anchovies or sardines and toss some for chum. Tie a small hook on with a split shot, bait it with a piece of the chum and toss it out.

Species to expect would be queen fish, croaker, mackerel, small barracuda and an occasional small WSB.

Took my grandson out on the boat, didn't even get a bite outside. anchored up behind the receiver and he caught a LOT of fish. Had a blast.

Thanks fellas; I really appreciate the suggestions. I get it about time on the water, but I can only get out a few times a month and I always fish La Jolla and have never really fished the bay.

Where is the best place to launch in San Diego Bay (i.e. closest to the bait barge?
