I can say with utmost certainty that I *probably* did not hide a tracking device in your hull.

Here's one of my go to sites...
http://www.tides4fishing.com/us/california/san-diego

it charts the sun rise, moon rise, and recently went through an upgrade to the web interface.

Just wondering, is the bait you use as important as the fishing conditions?

Does anyone have a procedure for determining the correct bait to use? Take several different baits with you and try them one by one to see what's working that day?

Was told, 'using lures is the best, but at $5 apiece it's too expensive when fishing around kelp beds because it's so easy to lose them'. Didn't ask what lures they were, guessing they were using some nicely, realistic sardine lures.

This is really awesome site, and I appreciate you sharing it. Kind of a data overload, but fun to play around with.

Similar to the spirit of previous replies, making bait usually happens so quickly before taking off to the fishing spot that I tend to run with whatever I can pull up. I would always prefer a big greenback or two in my tank, but at a certain point I will troll with whatever ends up on the line.

For bottom fishing, I have been playing around with heavy jigs a lot more, just because a little piece of squid on a dropper loop tends to get cleaned off if there are any whitefish around. Saves a lot of cranking the line to check your bait.
