It is good for them, the local economy and us

.

I picked up some local made San Diego War Baits a month back although have not really had a chance to use them, when purchasing them I thought they looked like a great bait for fishing out at the Island and have been looking forward to our valentines day weekend trip to really test them out. Before leaving I went to my local kayak/tackle shop OEX Kearny Mesa to pick up a few extra things I needed including verious swimbaits to match the warheads, also since I was there and they had them I purchased more heads in the 1oz and 1.5oz sizes, had to make sure I was fully stocked for the weeked. Also picked up some materials to make my portable fish finder for the trip. I'm amazed every-time I go into this shop, it has been good from the start but gets better and better every-time I go in there as Rik continues to builds his inventory. OEX has saved me headaches from having to go to multiple stores on several occasions by becoming more of a one stop shop for the kayak angler.

to OEX and their great shops!

Results of the weekend. Big Grumpy Calico Bass, plentiful and many in the 5-10 lb. range. A blast on the light rod, matched with a lo-profile baitcaster, 20lb spectra, 12lb leader, Warhead and bait.

The release

The dolphins were insane 100's of them out there feeding. It was a trip, they swam with us, went under our kayaks, jumped along side of us, chilled while we fished. Never seen anything like it.

No white seabass or YT seen on this trip but wide open on big calico bass. Great times!
