Don't forget the tip, it really helps!

Yeah that whole tipping thing in Oside makes no difference. Doesn't matter whether you put the tip on the front end or back. We spoke with the bait company prior to coming down to SD but decided against it

At least the folks in MB have somebody that answers the phone and can let you know what bait is available. Last two times we've been out in OSide harbor we've gotten the same bait recording saying chovies were available. Show up at the barge, no chovies, haven't had them in days.
The only thing I can say is, it's a good thing I don't feed my family this way. I'd be one skinny motha. Oh well have to give it another go around.
The day wasn't all that bad I had some frosty beverages to help make up for the lack of fish.

The 5 dollar tip I normally give gets me pointed towards the fish. I think mission bay is out of the question for the rest of this weekend, but I will be hitting it in a couple of weeks. I am semi new to this area, but I've had a lot of success with halibut out there this year, I'll let you know if I'm headed out that way.

Ill be pounding around Tuesday in a pro angler with Judas Priest on the speakers. Say go and ill show you a couple great Hali spots. Sardines are key.

When I tip the guys $5 they usually give me two scoops, then most die due to overcrowding. So now I just tip $2 or $3, get one scoop and some info, and it's cool

Sorry you didn't catch anything, but it makes me feel better about my Sunday AM outing. (also being new to kayak fishing in MB). I caught a couple of Rock Wrasse under the Ingraham St. bridge, but had no other bites under or between the bridges. Nobody else I talked to was catching anything.

So maybe none of us were doing anything too wrong. Just an epidemic of lockjaw.

We don't! The bait guys always thank us, and are sure to let us know that the guys in yaks always tip, but the guy's with $25,000 boats don't!
