#13900, "Coronado Shore bound report."


  

          

Fished at the coronado ferry landing today with basskid254. Got there at about 10:30 with 2 boxes of squid. I was drop shotting a 3.5 inch sluggo with a 4 inch fish trap on a 1/2 oz. head as weight. We saw some bonito chasing bait on top (bonito actually coming out of the water) so I headed over there and made a few casts. Once I was sure I wasn't going to get any bonito, I made a cast, let it sink to the bottom, and as soon as I started reeling in my rod loaded up. I set the hook and landed this with the sluggo hanging out of its mouth.

Anthony's first cast in the same spot yielded him another halibut about 15 inches also on a drop shotted sluggo:

Back to back casts, back to back hallies.

I walked over to BK and got some food for us, and when I came back I had a stingray on my pole. I reset that pull and busted out the d-shot on 4 pound line and hook up with this:

6 inch halibut :+

Few casts later, hook up again and land:

12 inch hallie

I rigged up my small baitcaster with a carolina rig and started fishing squid. Right away I caught 3 stingray. Decided to try strips of squid instead of chinks, and was soon battling with this fat spottie:

14 inches long, 10 inch girth

We decided to go try some shore spots, and found a nice looking spot where it was pretty much wide open bass for about an hour.

Anthony was first to hook up and landed this spottie:

We kept getting small 5-7 inch sandbass, but only photoed these which were less common, but a lot bigger:

Then, to finish the day, Anthony caught one final hali around 14 inches:

Totals:

Me: 3 halbut, 2 spotties, 5 sandies, and a lizardfish

Anthony: 2 halbut, 1 lizard, and about 4 or 5 bass (not sure how many of which he got)
