Fishing MB: My perspective

I fished Mission in my skiff on Tuesday for 25 spotties in 5 hours. 07:30 - 12:30 . I'd call that a very good bite. A few caught here and there but I left fish biting in two zones to do some recon. Most caught in 5 -7' of water. All caught on 3" Big Hammers. No white baits were fished. The blade got bumped but they were only biting the blade as none were hooked fishing the blade.

 

Im new here as well and looking to start my saltwater fishing game in S.D. vice the Pacific Northwest, or Eastern Sierra Nevadas. Your map is incredible. I have to ask I see people fishing in spot 34 leaving the dog park there. What are they catching and what are they using? I appreciate it.

Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou DJ Thrillzs! I have enjoyed reading your post and have tried to absorb all of your priceless advice. Appreciate you man! Off to the bay I head to wet some lines...

 

I read your entire post and did not lose interest at any point. I'm fairly new to Mission bay and have been on a Mission learning that area. I had decent success and came across productive areas. Also some areas that you mentioned in this article. I even took some notes on your preferred colors and areas that I will definitely try out. I will also agree that Mission bay holds more quality fish than SD Bay. Harbor Island and other spots in SDB were my stomping grounds. Once again, thanks for the intel!

 

Hell yea awsome !

 

Can you please explain where this "Bowling Pin" is? I tried to find it on Google maps to no avail. It is close to West Ski Island? Thanks DJ

 

Ahh gotcha, thank you. Yeah none of the images are showing up on my work computer, damn government watchdogs...

 

Thanks @old_rookie !

 

this was sooooo helpful. thank you a ton! As someone who has fished a ton of places (almost entirely freshwater though) Spotties are new to me. I just moved down here a bit ago and have been trying to get into bay fishing but have had pretty bad luck. I release everything I catch unless it dies, so i really dont care what I catch as long as it pulls. haha

Fished swimbaits and jerkbaits in SD bay and MB with very spotty luck. about 4-5 trips
still havnt got a shark or ray in two trips to MB with squid.

This post hopefully will help. Thanks again

 

Thanks again! Ive done some surf fishing before up in central CA for surf perch, running little motor oil grubs. As far as dock fishing, I used to do it as a kid at night where it was illegal but now that im an adult I really dont feel like getting charged with trespassing.. are there any of the boat docks that youre allowed to fish? I fished the little tiny one at Mission bay aquatic center and caught two spotties on bread, but nothing hit the plastics.
