Mission Bay, 10-13-14

It was nice to put some faces to the names. Thanks to Rich for blades, very nice of you. Fishing was good caught 6 all short, largest one was about 13". I used Warbait Slayer Swim jig with a 4" Big Hammer Anchovie. I also caught one with Slayer and 4" Calico Hunter .

I also left around 1:30 had a nice lunch and headed home. No traffic at all.

I was humbled by Steve and Ed. I was fishing right next to them and I was being out fished 3:1 for most of the day. I don't know how they do it, but these guys are pro's out there

Don't feel bad. 6 fish would be a banner day for me at MB. I can catch 50-60 a day in SD bay but MB eludes me. I have fished MB maybe 10 times and caught maybe 18 fish total which is what Amish Ed caught in one day!

It seemed like every cast came back with grass until I changed to a different jig head, and that was the ticket. Ended the day with 6 short bass, two of them were 13".
Rich, thanks again for the spinner baits. I did manage to get one fish on one of them.

I'm curious, what head did you start with and what did you finish with?

Wow, thanks. I know Rich did well too.

We'll get out there together one of these days. I know MB was the same for me for years and then one day it wasn't. I had a good tournament day and then I liked MB. I do know that confidence plays a huge role in bass fishing.

It was really good to meet you guys and to be able to put faces to the names. Rich "Thank You" for the blades you made. I seemed to start slow also. Talked to Steve and he had caught 10 when I was still looking for my first. Finally switched to my favorite Z Man pearl paddler and it wasn't 5 minutes before I caught my first and best of the day, a legal 15" Spotty, released just like the other 4 shorties caught today. Spent part of the day drifting in different areas looking for Halis, but no luck. Was off the water by 12:40. Had some errant to run otherwise I would have stayed till late afternoon.

Thanks again Rich for the blades. MB has been killing me lately, only got 1 non legal and several short bites. Oh well, beats working today. Hopefully make it out again and learn from the 2 pros.

Good to see everyone.

I moved north from where everyone was fishing and found some
clean water without all the loose grass. Managed 9 spotties
on plastics and 22 on the blade. Only about six were legals, but
the little guys were fun too.
Think I'll go back again today.

Hope to see everyone again soon.

Another great video Wade. Sorry I missed you yesterday. I knew you where launching from Dana Landing and I was around the Sea World channel for a while. I paddled over to the Bahia point area and fished the same area as in your Video as the sun came out. I figured you had provably gone to Quivira Basin area when I didn't see you. I switched from channel 68 cause lately there has been too much chatter from War Ship 2 etc. It seems that's a popular channel for them, Vessel Assist and a lot of guys fishing out a the banks for yellows. I went to 72 but did not hear you calling, sorry. Maybe I'll see you next trip. I managed 1 legal similar to those toads you seem to catch regularly. The other 4 where shorties, all released of course. Thanks for sharing your video.

Not sure what happened I had my radio on the whole time. We stayed right next to the launch pretty much all day. Looks like you did pretty good out there.
