I've been in love with spotfin croakers ever since I got my monster spotfin way back in 2004.

Maybe I'll lay off the tubing for a while, if there's hammies like that in there. Definitely piques my interest, and I plan to do a lot of exploring in the newly opened salt pond at the south end, near where I've hooked the majority of sharks and rays I've caught in south bay. I've caught a few healthy juvenile (up to 22") WSB down there also.

Is that pond open to fish now?

Spot fins are awesome. Since they swim in schools a lot of times you can get quite a few in a row. One of the few non-bass I like to catch.

Not sure. When I was there two weeks ago, they were still pumping the piles of sand south to the Otay River mouth and they had a tubular floating barricade up splitting the pond in half. I spoke to a couple guys from the dredging crew who were fishing the shoreline at lunch and they said the dredging was done and they just had to finish the sand transport and clean up. Hoping the spoils will create some hali habitat.
