First time on SD Bay in my yak. I picked up about a 20" short halibut near north island with a sabiki rig. Tried like hell to find and make bait, no joy. Chumming with cat food, looking for sign and marks on my ff.

Made the mistake to go outside the bay and came back in on an outgoing tide, let's just say it made for a hell of a workout coming back to the Shelter Island launch. Must have been at least a couple hours but my arms felt like they were going to fall off by the time I made it back to the launch, lol.

Where's the best place to try and make macs in SD Bay? I know in a pinch I could always hit the bait barge for deans or chovies. Thanks...
