Wish I hadn't forgot my anchor as I didn't have a long enough to work the hole and pull a big one....uh...long enough time that is.

All of the bones were disappointingly small. I was happy however to at least land the target species. I heard in Florida that they estimate the value of each Bonefish caught at $3,000 to the local economy. I caught over 20 spotties along the way as well. Most of these were also small. D'oh!

Conditions became un-fish-able mid morning as a very-high high tide thrust in. Wind probably hit 20-mph and some waves started spurting over the side of my Outback...thinking of Florida again I guess. Anyway, I made my way back to the launch through the heaving white capped bay and knew I made the right decision to leave it at that.

Here are a few pics...














Enjoy!

will you guide me on bonefish?

I'll PM you if the wind and tide look right for a trip. The last session was pretty bad with only a 10-mph forecast...(always understated on the bay).

Nice report. Love those bonefish. So much fun to catch. I used to fish the bay a lot from Tidelands back to Chula Vista and would try and target those and corvina. Really fun with light tackle.

Sounds like a great time.
I've found anchoring to be very helpful for that South Bay bone fishing. Mike
