Steve and I hit it for a slowish day. Steve had I think 8, but 3 or 4 were keepers. Me...

1 short butt, 13 spotties and 2 sandies. But, only 2 bass were definitely legal. 6 or so probably could have been legal, but saw no point in measuring them. I only C&R, so I prefer to get them back in ASAP.

5 bass on a XPS squid (the smaller one), 1 bass on a curly tail Storm, 1 legal on a green and orange Swimbait, everything else on dropshotted jerkbaits. The jerkbaits and swimbait are poured by Tight Line Lures. Color wasn't much of an issue. Current was though, that's why it was so slow by the time you made it out. Tide just died around 9:30, with a small section of current out off the bridge.

Overall, a fun day.

BTW, if you plan on getting a FF for your yak, get the Lowrance X-51. This one sweet unit. Bottom structure is easily ID'd, fish are actual boomerangs, waterproof, and it's nice and small. You won't find a better unit for $200. Blows away the Garmin Blue in resolution, and the Blue is only $30 less.

Where are the tidelands exactly?

How does the X-51 compare with the Fishin Buddy? Thanks.

#1 Tidelands is at the end of the Coronado Bridge. Take the 5 south and cross the bridge. 1rst possible right, turn right again to go into the park. There's a cool skatepark, lots grass, batthrooms, and decent sized beach. Lot's of moored boats, and of course the bridge to fish. Mostly smaller fish, but it's a calm areas as far as boat traffic. Go to Shelter Island if you want bigger fish, but more boat wakes.

#2 The X-51 doesn't even compare to the FB. I had one in the past, let's just say it didn't like lots of saltwater in it. Not very good resolution either. The 51, now that's at the other end of the spectrum. 240 vert pixels, waterproof, and lots of menu options. But, it's not a portable, and they run about $200. If you want a cheaper one, they make the Fisheasy II, same screen, just less features in the menu, $140ish.
