Fishing Talk / How to add a photo

How do I add a photo to a post? The size is under the minimum and it's a jpeg. Any tricks that I need to do?

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Mission Bay Accomplished
« on: May 31, 2015, 02:03:15 AM »
We did it. My oldest son,12 yes old, caught his first Bat Ray at around the stroke of midnight. Taken out at Bat Ray Alley over by Crown Point Park. We fished for about 3.5 hours this time. Went to Lucky Seafood to load up with bait. No mackerel, so we were left with squid and large sardines. The sardines satisfied the bait thieves. Had little hits all night but nothing solid. Eldest son did catch a VERY motivated Spotty who ate a double squid bait. CPR'd of course.
The ray was only 27 inches wide but fought well considering it was on 40 lbs test. But the skunk streak is broken and a new door has opened.

Can anyone suggest any good spots around the Mission Bay area to catch mackerel? I would be land bound.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Mission Bay Skunk
« on: May 04, 2015, 04:48:12 PM »
of the toothy kind, that is.
Saturday evening, my two sons and I headed to Mission Bay to look for the elusive Leopard Shark or Bat Ray. It has been a mission for me to have them hook into one of these "big gamers" as the micro surf perch fight is all too brief. We headed to Quivara Point to try and catch our own fresh mackerel but all we found was a willing short Barracuda and lots of floating grass. So, off to Seaforth to purchase good old frozen that looked fresh but turned out a bit mushy.
I set us up off Crown Point and for the next couple hours we enjoyed the San Diego sunset and sand, with close proxiemty bathrooms. Lost some bait to small bait stealers or casting. Had a brief moment when a clicker slowly ticked here and there but never sounded solid. About half an hour after the tide peaked, a flotilla of night time kayakers were heading straight for the three lines, so we jumped to action to reel in and recast after they went by. But some how, magically, the bait I was reeling in had turned into a huge Spotted Bay Bass, probably close to 20 inches. A quick photo and CPR'd back into the bay. By this time, the hunger had taken over the sharking intrests of two preteen boys. Packed up the gear and headed home.
I am wondering if I may not be getting the bait into the zone or if I need to be closer to or in the moving water. It could simply be a bad night. I would like to spend more time out there and use better bait.
Any other suggestions that were not mention in your articles? The articles were very informative and helpful. You guys are the masters of Southern California big game surf fishing. I am happy that you guys have set up your own website.
