Lower Otay’s excellent summer bass fishing has rolled into fall. Anglers are catching quality fish up to 5 pounds on reaction baits in the mornings and jigs or dropshots in the afternoons. The topwater bite has been strong too, especially in the evenings on walking baits. Bluegill are still plentiful, though the cooling weather may slow the bite in the coming weeks. Catfish are hitting well in the evenings on cut bait and chicken livers.
