I live in Long Beach, CA and the rain on Friday and into Saturday was monster, but against my better judgement I decided to go out Sunday morning to overcast skies and the occasional rain drop.

Los Alamitos Bay is shut down due to a sewage spill, so I went to the other end of the long beach.

I launched my float tube off the beach at the Los Alamitos Volleyball Courts and right away saw that the water was looking muddy. Not good.

I threw spinnerbaits and swimbaits in various colors both light and dark and tried to work the top, middle, and bottom of the water column.

I fished around Island Grissom for a couple of hours with no luck and decided to give the surf a try and after an hour of working the surf, I caught a yellow fin croaker on an anchovy swimbait with the coolbait silver underspin and decided that killing the skunk was good enough and called it a day.

Fishing the inshore salt right after a rain storm is not such a good idea?

Confirmed.
