Made a quick video on how to fish the swimbait for spotted bay bass. Had the wonderful opportunity to fish San Diego Bay from the shoreline. Fished for 1 hour utilizing only swimbaits. low tide with cloudy cover made it ideal to fish with a 3/8 oz swimbait presentation. In this video I explain how and why to use the swimbait to catch spotted bay bass. I hope you guys enjoy!

have a great day everyone 🙂
bro this was a great video!
Got damn Pare. I love all your vids. Now I gotta put it to work here in OC.
Can i know the address of this area
Dude where you fishing at from shoreline?? Every time I go shore fishing from spottie it’s too much rock and loses too much tackle 🤷🏽♂️
not sure if this has been asked but why do u pull line out after you cast, lure hits water, u close the bail and riiiiiip😂. I thought u were testing your drag but I did it multiple times so that threw my theory out the window 😂. unless u test drag over and over, or u are adjusting drag but editing it out?
Was just out there for four hours… lol Not one bite.
nice catch handing…rare to see on California surf fishing videos… thx
Hey Rodney, do you tie directly to your bait or do you use a swivel with a clip?
I've caught my biggest spotty in the oceanside harbour on squid ooo and also It was 1 am haha
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that NTC park across the bay? Near the Point Loma neighborhood?
what size swim bait and what weight is the jig head
Great video Rodney, I have only caught one spottie having fished countless times all over Mission and San Diego bay. I have to be the WORST fisherman in San Diego! I have even fished this area in Liberty Station and nothing……What swimbait would you recommend? I have been trying a texas rig weedless with different plastics because anytime I try something with an exposed hook all I get are weeds…..After watching this I definitely think I am reeling too slow and letting it hit the bottom, thus all the weeds. If you can recommend a good swimbait, next time I will try a constant retrieve like you did here and see if that helps me avoid the weeds.
@1:10 i caught a spotted bay bass at that spot today. Used the drop shot technique.
How do u like that okuma reel? Great video
Hi Rodney, first i want to say that your videos are awesome! I had a question, so I fished the spot in this video next to Liberty station with swim baits and did not get one bite?! The water was fairly clear and didn't even see a fish? I also fished several other parts of Mission Bay and Harbor Island and no bites at all?! I tried swimbaits, ned rig, jerk baits and nothing worked! This was this weekend and last weekend, so my question is if this is a bad time of the year for spotted bay bass? If so, what is a good time of the year? Any info would be greatly appreciated!! BTW, I follow your channel and look forward to more videos! Thanks!!
Dude I love watching your old videos and now seeing the new ones and watching you kind of grow up as a fisherman. I rlly love your Chanel man keep it up 👍 😇🙏🙏🙏
Rodney, I want to go fishing with you
Hey Rodney! Great videos! I’ve recently moved to San Diego and picked up surf fishing. But wanted to start going for the bay bass. Any suggestions on locations and spots?
thanks for the tips – fun
What size rod and reel were you using ?
Great video! I caught my first sand bass today. Was so excited
Is that at liberty station?
What reel is used in this vid?
You talk so cute 💕
Nice! I like to use crocodile lures and also go near structures. Remember to go in changing tides, preferably half way between low and high tide
Nice job dude!
That first spotty was the cleanest catch and release I’ve ever seen haha
Awesome bro loved this episode! Smashed em’!
Break down rod and reel choices
Good day in San Diego #bayboiis
I'm trying to learn about ocean bay fishing. Do the fish bite all year long in the bay or is it like lake bass that bite spring-fall? Just trying to determine if this is the wrong time of year to take my son to try some ocean fishing.
Rodney I always get hung up on either grass or rocks when I fish swim baits 🙁 what am I doing wrong ?
Nice job! Keep em coming!
Coo vids bro
Fun man!
