Taking the kids (6 and under) out this weekend in the bay for some bottom fishing. Does anyone know of some good public spots in the bay? Not looking to fill the freezer, just keep some kids entertained. Thanks!

There is a deep hole North of the Ranger station that is easy to find on your bottom machine. Drop anchor up current from it and drift back over it. Throw out a chum block. Flat line a cig and throw out a knocker rig with 6 oz. egg sinker and drop down a 2 hook rig to the bottom. You should be too busy unhooking fish for the kids to fish yourself
Good luck

is that hole north west of the ranger station in about 60ft? I've always been curious about that spot, but never fished it. It seems like one of the deeper spots in the bay!

That's the deepest spot in the bay, but it doesn't fish any better than the 30-55' waters that run from there through the pass. It's all about the structure...which isn't too hard to find.

All that area is heavily fished as you know, but most that do fish the area really don't know what they are doing, so plenty of fish left.
