Mission Bay Spotted Sand Bass in the Rain

Mission Bay: I picked Ed up at 6:00AM, and we were in the water at Ski Beach in no time. The spring tide was severe, and for anybody who fishes Mission Bay regularly, we call it, "Flushing the Toilet." And that's exactly how it felt. However, that first couple of hours that Mission Bay was in standing tide mode, was awesome to say the least. Of course, Berkley Gulp! baits and Uni Butter played a big roll in our success. Ed and I both redeemed ourselves for the previous day. Ed even caught his first Calico Bass - a new species for the check list. Sorry for the rainy looking shots; it was raining.

Could have used these spotties up in Newport, but that's a different story.   

Thank you Ed and Linda for visiting our city. And thank you all for reading our report.
