Spent 4 days fishing the wa. side above the bridge. We caught a total of 7 keepers between the 4 of us and numerous shakers. The fresh anchovies outfished live sand shrimp about ten to 1. I used the shrimp a lot on all 4 days while my wife, son and partner used anchovies and kept me very busy netting and or releasing fish and rebaiting thier rigs. We were fishing shallow flats, 3-10 feet of water all weekend.
