Balboa pier 5/11

Started at 1:40 pm and fished the incoming tide until 4:40. Very slow bite until around 3:50. Then the mackerel began biting anything and everything that hit the water. I fished a 21 gram coltsniper jig and kept 14 mackerel. I also caught a short halibut that gave me a good chomp as I was unhooking it. As I left, everyone else was loading up on mackerel.

Thanks for the report.

Glad to hear some fish are showing up.

How were you using the coltsniper? The halibut would suggest vertical jigging or a slow retrieve.

Medium cast out and vertical jigging on the way back in. Most of the hits were on the drop. The halibut hit when I let the lure hit the bottom after first making the cast.
