I caught a few bass at san diego bay last week during my visit rock hopping and scootering around near the airport using 3 or 4 inch swimbait, xmas tree red green or the ubiquitous sfbay white.
Outgoing tide, mornings

Are those spotted bass?

yes

Nice bass!

Are you aware of the health advisories for sand bass from San Diego Bay?

For some reason they are safer from Mission Bay (1 and 3 portions per week).

Navy and commercial shipyards dumping decades worth of stuff into SD bay is why the fish are not as safe as mission bay.

I used to catch tons of fish off my dad's ship at national city naval station at night. they were after the galley scraps and stuff dumped off the ship's hull. huge mackerel and bass. also at Point Loma navy area

Yea, I use to fish the naval bases when I was younger and had access.

Most of the fish that I catch in San Diego bay are released.
