New AO At NPH, Solo Session Sat 9-26-20

Nice trip, a bunch of spotties and a batray. It looks like your RECON mission paid off.


Thanks for sharing!

It felt good to finally hit up some different waters’ other than my usual ... LAH, the fish were definitely a bonus and I had a fun time exploring all of the new areas!

YES ... My recon mission was successful!
Thank you Jerdon for chiming in on my fish report!

Good to see you had fun fishing a different AO today Dan

Nice going Dan! I grew up fishing "The Bay" in my little 12 foot aluminum car topper because we lived so close. I know lots of good spots there. There's Barred Sandbass spots, places for Spotfin Croakers, halibut areas, Shark spots, places to catch perch and places were there are larger Spotted Bay Bass. Oh yeah, you can launch your 'tube at any public/dock beach in the harbor and on Balboa Island. I really like the one at the end of Balboa Ave., and the public docks at the end of Coral Ave., and Park Ave. on Balboa Island. Parking isn't too bad during the 'off' season. Sometimes you can find a parking place right next to the water.

Hi ya Komori,

I know that there must be a few more cool places still remaining for me to still explore and have fun fishing!
I just like the fact that I found another spot on my very own. lol

I'm honestly considering my heading down to MB SD on either T, TH or F this week; for a
one-day-r, in order to RECON their water's.

And besides, there is an area down there that I have in-mind that I've wanted to give some additional attention to.
In other words ... I'M GOING TOAD HUNTING!   lol

Tight-lines on all of your Crappie's Brotha,

SP Dan

Dan,  It seems like you go out float tubing alone quite a bit.  It seems that might be a safety thing. I used to go out float tubing at Perris all the time alone, because I live fairly close and had Fridays off, and I was 10 to 20 years younger! But now that I'm almost 70, it's become a little bit more concerning. I will try to meet other FT friends there and we  stay fairly close on the water.  I'm in pretty good health, but at our age you just never know what could happen. I always try to have someone along with me while I'm on the water. Actually ANYTIME we are out 'tubing, all of us should not be alone on the water. Be careful out there doing recon by yourself on strange waters.

Copy that!
Great advise to always follow!
I support what you are saying 100%.
My fishing buddy moved to Colorado last year and he hasn’t been replaced yet and I still need to fish.

Be safe out there!

Nice job Dan. If i would have known you were going i would have went. I wanted to invite you but the tide was not in my favor for my launch location. I ended staying home wishing i had gone fishing..lol Oct. 10th is more my kind of tide for launching at PCH bridge, I guess I need to find some other spots to launch.

Hi ya Johnny,
Thank you for thinking that you would have liked to have joined me but I normally like to hit an area the first time by myself ... rather than to have someone pointing things out to me.
This way I can fish it dentally in order to get a real good feel of the area, it’s layout and this way I can also go as slow as I wish to ... with dental precision and being very methodical!

The next time that I think that I’ll venture down that way ... I’ll let you know and or visa-versa.
(if I had your cell number). hint hint

We can PM that kind of stuff.

SP Dan

lol... i dont have anything to point out, I fish blind.
