Eagle Ray
San Diego Bay and the adjacent Pacific waters offer a fascinating, albeit specialized, fishery for eagle rays. These majestic creatures frequent the shallow, sandy bottom areas of the bay, particularly during the warmer months from late spring through early fall when they gather to breed. While not typically targeted, they can provide an unforgettable angling experience for those seeking a unique challenge. Sight fishing is key; look for their distinctive wingtips breaking the surface. Light tackle is surprisingly effective, but be prepared for a prolonged battle, as these rays are powerful swimmers. A small piece of squid or clam on a circle hook, fished near the bottom, can entice a strike. Access to the bay is excellent, with numerous public launch ramps and fishing piers. Remember to handle these rays with care if caught and release them quickly to ensure their survival. Shelter Island launch ramp is a popular and well-maintained option.
