Hey Budman, Bay fishing is great, easy, and close, and sometimes the fish really want to chew. Its a great way to catch some hard pulling fish on the plastics. Some access can be found on Balboa Island, it has alot of sandy beaches you can walk. I have caught alot of really good fish here. Thanks for the interest in the article. Those Assalt baits are really hard to beat. The Spotties really hit those things with a vengeance. Employ the techniques mentioned in the article and you will catch fish. Good luck and let me know how you do down there.
