For the last three years the best spotty action has been in January, sometimes going into February. These photos were from two different anglers in different parts of the bay, aboth obviously at different times. Spotty fishing is a year round thing, but NOW is the time for quantity, and quality! At night time, the black widow pattern has been responsible for hundreds of spotties, and in the daytime the aquamarine pattern seems to be getting the job done more frequently than other patterns, but all in all anything with greens and oranges will be your best bet.
Go get some, and send me the pics :)
