San Diego Bones

[Bjorn]

Hey, anyone fished San Diego Bay for bonefish? What was the experience like? Seems like it 1) isn't anything like the classic experience, and 2) could still be pretty fun.

Most of the efforts seem to be concentrated in the south bay region - below the
Coronado bridge. Some folks target them; most are caught as "by-catch." A
smallish fish. Croakers, halibut, and several types of bass are much more
plentiful. And, IMHO, more fun to catch!
At a "minus" low tide, it is possible to wade along the Coronado side. Lots of grass beds,
so a floating line works best (for me.) Sinking lines are fine from a boat. Although not for me, I see guys around the bridge in float tubes.
Good luck,

bjorn,.... Another website that I forgot to mention is:

www.baytubers.com

This site os mainly bait/gear related but timely. These guys use Tubes/Kayaks to reach the fish thru the surf and in Bays. The fish shown in the slideshow on their homepage'll blow your mind. :nod: :nod:
