San Diego Bay...spotties and short halibut

[Irishman]

Mellow morning I says to myself...planning on using Santa Ana winds to push me back to Shelter Island..not
Launched about 6:30am, drifted with incoming tide for lots of spotted bay bass, most concentrated just around the aircraft carrier. Pleased with my incoming tide drift I was looking forward to a mellow outgoing tide drift with the wind at my back. That did not work! Had to paddle with the current and against the wind, came across a fishy spot where the tide was sucking out at the green buoy outside Bali hi. Short Hali and called it a day.
