Update on the ponds? I was headed there after work tonight, but the surf picked up and I opted for that instead. I don't really like the deep stuff either, but it was cool for a change of pace. I used to work a 6 pack out of Diego were we would get excellent SWRF between Rosarito and Ensenada, plenty of big reds and salmon grouper, lots of lings up to and over 20 pounds in 100' of water, amazing down there. Also the best calico fishing I've ever seen, both for size and numbers. We had hash marks on the bait tank for legal size fish, and none of the passengers ever noticed the bass size was actually 15", we never told them and they went home happy. Wish they would have let them all go! I think I'll hit the ponds tomorrow, Ed, let me know if you will be around! Tight lines!
