Nicks17029 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 Got a big spotted bay bass. Been playing around with the triple trout, small glides, and 5” swimbait/warbaits combos for these guys. kookfarmer, SDBayBassMan, thebeardedbassman and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerhaus Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Thats big for a spottie. Nice catch man. Need to start upsizing my bait when im hitting the docks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xSoCalBassKingx Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 That’s a toad, I’ve had good luck in the 40 foot range on 5” plastics for spotties. Deep structure in bays hold. Haven’t thrown anything bigger though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyearsley Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 I havent been out for awhile, i killed them a couple summers ago tho. This is my pb, 3.5 lbs and abut 17 inches. A 5" MC viejo on a 1/2 warbaits head is a killer. kookfarmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDBayBassMan Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 That is a fat spotty.. bite has been pretty slow locally but should be picking up soon. It’s been raining like crazy in SD the past few weeks and all the reports I’ve gotten have indicated that the bite has been tough. There always there though, sometimes you just have to work harder than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDBasser Posted December 16, 2019 Report Share Posted December 16, 2019 You guys ever catch these on small glide baits or are soft plastics better. Got a new bay boat and am trying to go out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDBayBassMan Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) I’ve caught them on the smaller glides, like the s wavers and I’ve seen guys catch them on the Deps 145’s. If you’re trying to learn the fishery though, I’d stick with the 3” Plastics and try to find patches of eel grass. From there, you’ll get a better idea of where they’re hanging out and you’ll be able to dial in a bite that way.

Alex Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) That’s a nice spottie!!! We’re lucky to live in SoCal. So many places to fish and so many species too.....next year I’ll be all over the spotties...they fight hard and hit harder! Didn’t know they would hit a glide.....what glides would you recommend? thanks nice slug! Edited December 30, 2019 by Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
