Mission Bay 12/12

Had a great morning in Mission Bay today.  Caught and released 11 nice spotties.  

Three inch paddletails on keel-weighted hooks slowly pulled through the grass on the bottom was the ticket today.  I was fishing an ultralight rig with 4 pound test, and had to make sure my drag was set well because all but two were legal sized and full of fight.  Tough to finesse them free of the grass sometimes.

Way fun though!

Wow, that is a good size spotty for 4 pound test. Good job.

Thanks for sharing.

Those are some nice fish for light line . Love the challenge. Great outing thanks for the pics and report.

Nice chunkers, especially on 4lb!

Thank you for your fish report with pictures!
That’s some good fishing!
