Nice work Chris! My son and I fished Mission today with my dad just spectating. We got 14 spotties and 5 little halibut, nice incoming tide from about 0815 to 11:15. 3/8oz underspins with Keitech swimbaits got most of them. My son picked up a couple on a 1/2oz swimjig with craw trailer. Your go to reminds me of back in the day when I would use a 2 inch GULP shrimp on a 1/8oz jighead. I would crush them one after the other over by north island.

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing and watching!

[@10downTrent]

Nice meeting you at tidelands on Sunday! Thanks for inspiring me to get out there man, been having a blast on my tube.

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Any time! For sure it was great to meet you. I didn’t see when you were in the water or I would have come over to say hi. I’m always happy to inspire people. I look forward to seeing you out there again. Cheers!

[@realweston]

Great video! I enjoyed Hooking fish and the drink reviews 😊 Thanks for a good time

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

[@Davemon1957]

Looks like a wonderful time, I need to get a float tube. I love your videography

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Thanks so much! I love my tube and getting out there. Thank you for also noticing the videography. I always try to make an effort to keep it interesting. Cheers!

[@anthonygehl3563]

Chris, thank you for sharing all your local knowledge another great video tight 🎣

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Thank you so much. It is my pleasure for sure. Thanks for watching!

[@romeoalphafoxtrot9517]

Great video! I'm very familure with that area. I never fished it in a tube, although, I have fished it a lot in a kayak and boats. You never know what you might catch in San Diego Bay. I will tell you my go to rigs for this area. If you are fishing the flats in front of the NAWB in shallow water, I use the 2" Gulp Shrimp New Penny on a 1/4 oz red leadhead fished on a 6 lb spinning rig. Cast out, let it hit the bottom, and work it back slowly. You will know when you might get a bite. it won't be suttle though. Also a rig everyone should carry in the bay is a 3/4 oz Chartreuse willow blade Strike King spinning bait on a stout 7 ft 10-12 lb mono baitcasting setup. Forget a spinning rig, and a "buggywhip" rod with the spinnerbait! The reason you need the heavy rod and 10-12lb mono is the spotties hit that lure like a runaway freight train with the throttle stuck wide open! They are vicious! Also, try trolling the spinnerbait when you are going from one place to another. I have caught more fish than I can remember doing that. The only time you really need a spinning rod is if you are fishing 6lb test or lighter. A crankbait in that area can be effective. Different lipped bass plugs have worked for me Try trolling a jointed Rebel shallow diving blue & chrome Fastrac plug. If the spotties aren't home on the shallow flats, most likely they are out deep in the channel. There is a deep channel running parrallel to the Coronado Bridge from Glorietta bay out to the main channel. You can locate that with a depth finder. Try the spinnerbait or, my absolute favorite #1 favorite bait for the bay, a 4" Gulp New Penny Shrimp on a 1/2 oz red leadhead on a "STOUT" 7 ft graphite rod with 10-12 lb test mono. No buggywhips! A stiff firm heavy graphite 7ft rod is what you use. Drag it along the bottom. If you think you are hung up, you aren't. It's a bite! Swing for the fence! The same goes for the main channel. Same rig. Same technique. Just follow the tides. On an incoming tide, for example, position yourself in the channel. You will be drifting South. Cast out North with the 4" Gulp Shrimp with a 1/2 oz red leadhead and the heavy baitcasting 10-12 lb 7 ft graphite rig. Let out a ton of line. Put it in gear. Let it bounce along the bottom. When you think you are hung up, swing for the fence! You will be rewarded with some MASSIVE spotties, I promise you! Also, if Bonita are in the area, throw a blue and chrome 3/4 oz Rattletrap. Throw it out on that heavy rig. Let it sink to different depths, then steady wind it back to you. Try different speeds until you find one that works. I have also caught many log Barracuda under the Coronado Bridge in my kayak and in a boat slow trolling a jointed deep diving blue and silver Rebel Spoonbill lure on 10-12lb mono. In my Buddie's boat, in early January, we lost count of how many log barracuda we caught in a morning trolling blue and chrome jointed Rebel Spoonbill deep diving plugs on 10-12 lb test mono. We left hem biting! 25-30 fish conservative. Caught and released. Also in the main channel, on a 6lb spinning setup, rig up a dropshot setup with a #6-#8 hook 18" above a 1 oz torpedo sinker. Hook on a 2" Gulp New Penny Shrimp. Drift the deep 35ft channel with this setup. You will catch more fish than you can count. It is especially a lot of fun for the kids. Most of them get bored quick, because they don't catch anything. Not with this setup! They will catch fish after fish after fish! San Diego Bay is the best inshore fishery on the Westcoast. You truly never know what you might catch.

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Thanks for all the information and suggestions! All of it is great. Thanks for watching and sharing. Cheers!

[@Bluefin_Bart]

Not a fan of the long drink, but my friends love the black can which has higher %

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Thanks for watching! I heard the black can is 8.5%. Haven’t tried it yet though. Cheers!

[@handcraftedmiracles1685]

Perfect day! Thanks for another great video Chris!

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Hey my pleasure for sure! Thanks for checking it out. See you on the water!

Much appreciated!

[@markg1216]

Outstanding action, as usual (from you)!

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@DaveGhilarducci]

another fun video. I think you have convinced me to try the bay.

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

You should! It’s a fun change and you don’t have to get there and wait in line for anything!

[@McQuadeOutdoors]

great day on the water!

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

You got that right! Thanks for checking out the video. Sure looks like you’re having fun with your new ride. Cheers!

[@patrickmccracken1065]

Dude, Badass video! Your rigs are killer. Underspin and the gulp are great, 5 inch is Killer also! try it!

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Thanks! I totally forgot they make those. I’ll pick some up and make another video with them! Thanks for the idea.

[@antman619]

So do you use a float??? Lol man your slaying them

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Thanks for watching! I’m in a float tube when I fish most of the time. Is that what you mean?

[@thatonebeone]

caught a close 30 inch vampire near there on sunday on 2 inch tube bait on very light spinning setup...not ultra light i kinda stopped using ultra light since most the fish im getting are bass and vampires and bonefish and my lure tends to be casted and drifted far and i need at least a light power rod to set the hook from far away, light set up is like ultra light at the bay

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

That is awesome! I totally get what you mean. I lost a 20-30lb halibut last week. It didn’t break but just came unbuttoned. Video to come!

[@thatonebeone]

@@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590 nice i lost a maybe close to 40 inch butt months ago when the butts was spawning in the back bay.. one time i caught 2 butts back to back one was 28 in and the other 29... but my favorite is bonefish on super light tackle one heck of a run..

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Totally agree! Cheers!

[@ryanrambeau3358]

Awesome trip. Love tidelands for launch. Do you have a drill motor set up to get around?

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Thanks for checking out the video. Yes, love Tidelands. As for the motor setup I use Blue Robotics T500 thrusters. Here’s a link to the video about the setup. Cheers! Outcast Super Fat Cat with Robotic Thrusters! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKTQdatveJ1gqZY

[@Stan_Rich]

First watch of your channel Chris. Good job! We have 5 generations of fresh & saltwater fisherman/outdoorsman in our family. I'm the third enjoying fishing with my grandchildren now. We're teatotalers so the beverage reviews (enjoy) are soley info only. Liked & subscribed.

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

That is awesome! Thanks for taking the time to watch and subscribe. There’s not much better of a thing than enjoying passion with family. I learned from my dad and my brother. My grandfather was an avid fisherman as well but passes away before I was able to enjoy fishing with him. Thanks for reaching out and sharing!

[@Stellarbaits]

Yesss!! Beef Shaman back on the bay. Man this is torture being on the injured list and watching the bite go off. But great to see you out there and a very entertaining and informative video. I always learn something watching your adventures but the lesson I learned in this video is going to change my fishing future for the better. Thanks again brotha. 🤙🏻💪🏻🦵🏻🦨🗑️🔥

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Live vicariously through other when necessary. Thanks for checking out the video. Cheers!

[@robertfirasek5296]

Cool video. I am new to your channel very cool. I live in Yuma Az I was always interested in bay fishing in SD. I grew up fishing saltwater along the Texas coast, looks real similar, what are you fishing out of?

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Hey thanks for checking out the video and the channel! I fish out of my float tube there. Lots of people fish from tubes, kayaks and along the shore. Get out there and get some! Cheers!

[@sdka4488]

Do you ever launch down at J St, and fish the South Bay ? I'm sure you have. Would be fun to see s video of an outing down there.

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Hey thanks for watching! Actually I have never launched back there or fished much. I will have to add it to the list. I’m always looking for new places. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@Pontoonhaole]

First time finding you on KZbin and just getting into bay fishing. Just got a new pontoon boat and want to get out on the bay a lot more. Thank you for your tips and subscribed to see many more videos in the bay. Can you show us your float tube set up? Apologies if you have done this in a prior video, like I said just found you today! Cheers!

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Welcome aboard! Glad you’re getting into bay fishing. The fishery is super fun and diverse. As for my tube setup no worries at all. Here’s a link to a video that I created just for that. Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers! Outcast Super Fat Cat with Robotic Thrusters! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKTQdatveJ1gqZY

[@Pontoonhaole]

@@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590 thank you! Awesome set up! Look forward to your adventures. Good luck!

[@Pontoonhaole]

Chris, Not sure if you would ever be willing or if there is a way we could talk outside of KZbin comments, but with this boat we just got if you’re ever interested I would love to take you or whoever out on the bay with this pontoon boat we got. Not sure if that’s your style, but wouldn’t have to rent anything from glorietta bay and would have some shade a spot for a big cooler and some drinks of the day!

SO.MUCH.FUN! Thanks for checking it out!

[@stargum839]

what lure and weight of the jig head are you using

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

The Berkeley Gulp Minnow on an Underspin head. I used 1/16, 1/8, and 1/4 ounce. There are links in the description for more details. Thanks for watching!

[@lesterrichardsons9173]

how do you find where the fish are? do you just use your livescope?

[@chrisbrandtthebeefshaman9590]

Thanks for checking out the video. Nope, no live scope for me. I pay attention to the depth and watch for birds, surface activity and check the tides. Practice, trial and error for me.
