Mission Bay was a blast, cheap and good skipper. I think the boat was the San Diego! It was a quick story.

Working down there, nothing to do Sat or Sun so tried to get a boat. Nope on Sat but Sun did the San Diego. Last person to reel in for the day with a Zero was me, waited like the last jerk they have to tell to reel in and before they did I got a Calico Bass, nice one! Sure ugly.

Had the fever on Monday working, so Tuesday am I was leaving messages for my appointments canceling because of car problems He he and back onto the San Diego. But, I did mention to the skipper I had a great time Sunday but hoped I would do better (hint hint).

Well, he spotted me, asked me how my bait casting is, I said terrible, he asked if he was to cast for me the rest of the day would that work? I said hell yeah! So cast off the side and seconds later Yellow Tail on. Down the rail under and over 30 people and landed it. Then he did it again. Finally he came over and whispered, you got your two in the bag and most others don't have anything so you are on your own now.

Thank goodness, my arms were shaking, my shirt was drenched with sweat and all I could think of was a smoke and beer! Did not get anything else the rest of the day but got my limit. And let me tell you, those Yellow Tail will beat you up, it was just great.

In summary, go do it. I have also done a three day trip out of the San Diego Harbor (not the Mission Bay area) and that too was a blast. Just be sure you don't get sea sick. Three day sick on the ocean sucks!
