Got down about mid-day Sunday, and after some piddling around in the marina, made our way out to Windmill Bar. Found a group of boats and birds on the tip of the bar, and couldnt keep the Spanish off the hooks; fished for about 3.5 hours, and ended up with 22 Spanish and only 2 blues. The macks were from about 18-24in, and hit about everything we threw at them; most people were saying gold, but we also got them on a siver drone w/red flash, and silver clark w/pink flash, with #1 planers- the short lines were outcatching the long lines 4:1 for a good bit- heck of a day, one of the best things that I've seen in the bay in a long time. Hopefully itll only get better. Seas started out a lil rough (good 2' w/ heavy and confused chop) but calmed down and turned into a beautiful evening, with the sun poking through the clouds long enough to see a nice sunset.

P.s- ran into some "dirty" water, but all fish were caught in the clean, green water.

Catch a blue, speed up two.
6-8 mph, under 6 will get you the blues.

I was running 5.5 to 6.5 K last Sat AM and got a mix of Spans and blues. Went down to 4.0 and loaded up the blues. Folks wanted action and didn't care what species they were. If all you want are Spans run fast.
