Fishing The Fog | Bass and Barracuda at the Horseshoe Kelp

Dense fog waited right at the coastline, but visibility was just enough to let me get out to try some of my favorite spots. I started off fishing a shipwreck in 70′ of water, and the calico and sand bass were on the chew! There was almost no current, so I dropped down to a 1/2oz leadhead and #20 florocarbon leader.

After a fast-paced hour of bass fishing, I headed off to the Horseshoe Kelp, where the barracuda had been for the past few weeks. Visibility dropped to about 100 yards, and I decided to troll to locate some fish. I inadvertently stumbled on three boats that were anchored in a U shape (with me in the middle), so I decided to shut down and drift.
