Soaked 2 1/2 pounds of squid at the bay. 4-830. O
Lots of bait stealers picking off the heads. One slow pull that dropped it. Not a run exactly, more like a walk.
Jim dropped by to hang out. Nice to meet you. Good luck Saturday.
Well you gotta have bait in the water to get bit... at least you had some company, but the lack of fish is concerning. It's gotta turn on soon...
It was a falling tide so not usually the best scenario according to the rules. Of course we know the rules don't always hold.
I'm hoping for low surf and salad for Saturday to scout a new AO.

Well, I heard some Hammerheads were spotted along the beaches in North County, so if the swell dies down and keeps the kelp away, we still have a shot!
Hopefully, the bays turn on here soon. I can't imagine that some exotics have not made their way into the bay yet!
I had the bait sealers take the squid heads to on my last bay trip. They also took the mackerel right up to the head. I agree that some kind of exotic must be in the bay beckoning to be hooked.
Other than the offshore scene, I guess I'm not missing much.

I put squid heads from the market on a small rod and get those little bastids. Spotties, yellowfins and plate sized rays usually.
Mike aren't you past your month of beach exile?

Funny thing is, I put on just a head and it didn't get touched. Go figger.
Soaked some macks last Saturday morning till about noon time. At around 11 AM at incoming tide finally my mack head got picked up by something with shoulders. Let it take more line than usual before setting the hook. I thought I had this one cold. But then it got off. Checked the bait, and the head was flattened, somehow the hook didn't stick. Definitely a bat.
