I’ve been fishing that shallow to ultra shallow a lot recently getting a better feel for all aspects inshore and to my surprise that 20’-50’/60’ water zone IS HOT! We’re usually the only knuckle heads in there besides the spearo’s who are like GET OUT of our zone….. just because they know they’ve got it all! I’m come to realize that our inshore out to the 20 fathom curve is RIPE for the pickings daily…. Never had I have an uneventful day. There’s ALWAYS a bite happening. -Unless I’m standing on deck tying knots bagging fish and fixing the tangles in the stern corners while telling the guy fishing the wrong side of the boat TO MOVE… PLEASE??$?$? pretty please

Wait till you catch a 35lb yellow or 11ft thresher in 15ft of water. You’ll never look back.

The grey walls of Marine St beach
It has 3 of them a north, middle and south
The south wall is the longest and on really high tides like we had on 12/10 the yellows usually hang off those boilers. And the backside of the bull kelp Bait runs up and down that stretch year around.

(WE CLEARLY FISH FARTHER OFF THEN WERE THE ARROWS START…..)

It’s a great spot all around for shallow water skiff fishing. Start in the middle find the drift and angle and it’s usually fantastic calico fishing. Then once you get the lay of the current, adjust accordingly. We’ve had some incredible bites there over the years wide open 3B’s and great yellows off the edge of the bull kelp in there.
It’s close tho stay vigilant is key especially when the yellows are chewing, it’s tucked into the back of the kelp some years with other years; it’s the northern most edge of the kelp. It’s a great little spot but again it’s close. Hit it on the incoming highs. Sometimes tho the new Seaforth will pull up in there and it’s best to just leave it alone.


It’s right under the waypoint (X) marked Goat hole on my fish finder.
In Roughly 68’-79’ of water bites every time!

Just reading this makes me feel as though we all are a "brotherhood."
Good on you Smylee.
Good karma will come to you for this I hope.

I’ve been fishing up close in the boilers for 30 years. Like anywhere it can be very good or a desert. Most of my wsb have been caught in less than 20 ft. The extra pucker factor at times adds to the excitement.

I thought the MPA was from the beach all the way to the Flag on the building?
