Canada Fishing Info

Whether you use a spinning reel or a conventional baitcasting reel, pick an outfit (rod and reel) suitable for 6-to 12-pound test line. He uses lighter 6-pound test when fishing for spotted bay bass but switches to heavier 12-pound test when targeting the hard-fighting halibut. Asked to pick four species in the bay that would represent his San Diego Bay Grand Slam, Stock picked sand bass, spotted bay bass, halibut and bonefish. Also, rather than setting the hook on spotted bay bass when it first bites, he just continues to reel until he feels pressure and allows that reeling action to preset the hook before any full swing to set the hook deeper. His favorite halibut area is the main channel below the Coronado Bridge, at the point where the Glorietta Bay channel converges with the bay's main channel. Bonefish are the rarest of the catches, but his favorite area is to start down by the Loews Coronado Bay Resort and let a northwest wind carry his boat on a drift to the east. read more
