Welcome back to BWE. Got your PM and hope, you got my reply. The reply section on the PM page doesn't always respond the way I'd like. The SMCA that starts about a hundred + yards South of the Scripps Pier and goes North to the Canyon with the Razor ( Alicia Keys) House, is an area that only allows bait to be caught. It like the Cove point are not anywhere as productive for making bait than it was a couple years ago. That said, it can be on some days. There's still a good amount of fish, but it depends on what you like to target. I long ago, got addicted, to Yellowtail. So I will often spend a whole day looking for them and not care too much if I don't catch anything. Many enjoy Calico Bass or Rockfish, those are still there, just not as many as before. It's and individual preference as to what you want. When I started, I made a promise to myself that the First thing on the list was to enjoy the beautiful scenery and time on the water. It's about being able to relax and let all the thoughts that pound around in your head, just melt away. If one gets all caught up in the Fishing and spends too much time frustrated, then what was the point of going out, in the first place. Make each the best day possible, for your own mental health. See you out there, Tom.
