Is there anything north of the harbor worth looking into?

Thanks, Dave

Fish for bait around the North Jetty - The bait god has always been good to me there. As far as T's...head somewhat north of the Jetty and drift south...Usually around 190ft - always worked for me.

I would be extremely cautious out there this weekend. Being the holiday weekend, there are going to be a ton of PB's out there. I've been damn near run over and have been with friends who have been flipped by boaters wakes. Lots of big boats going in and out harbor.
