If your going as far south as S.D then the spot would probably have to be Glorietta Bay in Coronado. Depending where your at just get on the Coronado bridge and take the first right the park should be on your right. float out torward the bridge and go at it you can use live bait about everyhting if your targeting the bass and like lures/plastic then a refular spoon type should work just fine just cast torward the bridge or you could use just about any crank bait or plastics. it is a tideland with alot of kelp. the best times are 1hr during the high or low tides. For more info try sdfish.com they have alot of good info and the board is similar to this one.
