Took my jetlagged a$$ out to the Brickyard at high tide. Perfect water, really windy. No fish. Tons of bait, and ospreys working (got to see an osprey pick up either a short hallie or a flounder from about 30 feet away- while talking to ChuckE on mobile)
Did some errands
Ran over to a "secret spot"-- MYC launch, paddled over to Wizard's house (from coastside)
Managed two nice fish right off the bat, fat 20" female, followed by a skinny 19" male.
This followed 7 other little guys, and a few drops were all she wrote. 
Tons of bait in the water, good clarity and temp. All fish on a tiny little x-rap.

PM me if you can't figure out where this spot is.

SteveS.... thanks for the call and the striper report.  It looks like the spring bite around San Pablo Bay may finally be on.  I hope so.  I've been looking forward to it for awhile.  The constant action of trolling for stripers is tough to beat.  Steve and I have had days where we've each caught and release over 30 stripers.  Most are schoolies, but there are always a nice fish in the mix.

I saw you out there yesterday, in pretty tight to the rockwall off of Glenwood.  I know your MYC spot exactly because I live right up the street from there and am a member.  I've caught some nice Stripers from the MYC lawn.  Taking the (new) dog for a walk is now a nice excuse to flip a few casts.  Do you launch from the rock's there next to the road?  If I ever get the time, we could hook up and launch from the MYC docks.

where i launch depends on how lazy i am!  I either launch off the rocks there, or from loch lomond marina (and troll out).

Drop me a PM when you  want to go. I'm planning a evening trip this week- trying to nail the date, but tomorrow or wed looks likely

Yes, he's a yellow lab/golden retriever mix.  We've had him about a month.
