Here are some really basic tips for the bay...

Line- 4-8lbs
Lures- sm.plastics 3-4" w/ jigheads from 1/4-3/8oz colors-green/chart/clr.red flake/wht freshwater spinnerbaits

Fishing spots- fish are everywhere, popular spots are the coast guard dock, shell fuel dock, pch bridge (fish around the green marker, fin & tonic boat. Almost all moorings hold fish. Some keys things to remember, keep moving around, if your picking up eel grass, your in a good location. Also really important to fish moving water. Incoming tide is best. If you really get desperate and want to catch fish, try trolling bomber model A all chrome crankbaits, just be sure to pinch the barbs down. Also if it's really sunny, pitch in the shadows tight to docks. Good luck and post a report.
