Fished a falling high tide this morning. Overcast and windy. Had the regular early morning Thornback Ray bite. In addition, there was a steady Jacksmelt run. My surprise catch was a short Barracuda on a Sabiki rig.

Jacksmelt caught on anchovy and shrimp. Salema and Round Stingray nabbed with anchovy. I used high/low rig for all the fish except the Barracuda.

Thornbacks caught on mackerel, white croaker, squid, and anchovy, with a fish finder rig.

Only one fisherman sharing the end of the pier with me. He left with a bucket of Jacksmelt caught with shrimp.

My final tally was pretty good considering the weather conditions. All fish were released.

15 to 20 Jacksmelt.
10 Thornback Rays.
1 Round Stingray.
1 Barracuda.
1 Salema.

Good luck!
