A quick report!

First of all I want to thank everyone for your patience while I took a little time to hang out with my family, I appreciate it!

Yellowfin croaker, and black croaker seem to be biting ghost shrimp pretty good in both Mission Bay and San Diego Bay. Bass numbers have been way down compared to previous years around this time of year(in general- not my personal numbers although those are terrible too this year lol). Corvina are active, but a bunch of small ones for the most part. Still fun in my book! Bat ray fishing has been pretty decent in MB, and there have been lots of horn sharks being caught in the last couple of weeks. Not too many halibut reports, but as always there are a few being caught here and there. Corbina and spotfin croaker are still being caught at our local beaches, large sand crabs seem to be the ticket.

If next month stays on track with previous months of September, we should start seeing some bonito and baracuda roamin around the bays. Keeping fingers crossed, but this year has been a little wacky while trying to follow the pattern of the last 4 years.

Get out there and fish, see you on the shoreline ;)

Vacation time!!! Sort of....

I wont be able to make any baits or jigheads for one week, starting on 8/19 lasting through 8/24. I wish I could say I was actually going on a vacation, but the truth is I have family coming in to visit my father, who is terminally ill(cancer). It will more than likely be the last time they ever get to see him, so its a time for all of us to be together, time much needed. Its going to be fun, cheerful, sad, and painful all at the same time.

If you have a paid order by the end of day tomorrow(8/17 @ 7pm), you should see it before this coming weekend. All other orders will not be started on until 8/25. If you have any questions please email me at tclures@hotmail.com. Thank you for understanding :)

July winner!

The winner of the July photo contest is Emma Tran. She picked off this chunky spotted bay bass while using a 3" haloween pattern swimgrub. Nice one!

There is no winner for the halibut contest as I only had one hali picture get sent in but without bait or tape in the photo.......again!

Thank you to all who sent in your photos and your fish counts/reports, I really appreciate it!
