kob and grunter....

i would look for paddle tail minnows as the kob feed mainly through lateral line senses...

they are suckers for a minnow bouncing on the bottom with a big paddle tail sending vibrations...

grunter, well you cant go wrong with sandworm...

hope i helped

In the mouth by the storm water pipe juvenile kingie, when they are around. Flathead on the banks. Perch further up river. Even rock salmon sometimes. Shad off the front rocks with possibilty of Garrick as well.

Kingies - 3 - 4inch minnows
Flathead - 3 - 4 inch minnows bounced along the bottom.
Perch - possibly some camo worm
Rock Salmon - never caught myself.
Shad - small spoon
Garrick - plugs

hope this helps as I have had many day where I have totally blanked but other when it has been quite productive.

I have cought mainly during the pushing tide and specifically 1hour before through to half hour after in the evenings or early mormings
