#4632, "Mission Bay, 1-26-02"

This was my first trip here since being skunked there a year and a half ago. It was better than that day, but not by much. I launched around 6:30am, Steve about 7:15. We finished at noon. I finished with 6 spotties, Steve had 3. He also had big fish, 2.2#, weighed by DFG during interview. My bigest was maybe 1.75#. Started with three right off, plus a few dumped and some I just plain swung too late. Too bad Steve was stuck in traffic (yes, 5:30am and traffic), this was the best bite all day. They were eating pretty steady the first 30min. then it died. I went 3 or 4 hours before I found my other 3, and these were one right after the other also. Steve caught 2 right off, then he caught his third about the same time I was catching my last ones.
The good news is that my first three spotties were on a freakbait I designed and poured. The last three were on a 9" grub I also poured. 5 of the fish ate the motor oil/red and green flake. The 6th one which I caught first ate a purple/ red and multi flake. I actually was happier about catching fish on a bait I designed than I ever was about catching on a rod I built. I know I need to tweak the bait though, and I definitely need more colors. Only 2 tried thus far, the motor oil and the purple. Once I get a finished version I'll post some pics.
Brian, maybe a trade? Freaks for a trout?
