My favorite fish to catch from the surf! Got all of mine on sandcrabs (in summer)...I agree Sharkgirl that squid is good bait, but I have NEVER caught a corbina on squid. The only reason why I like it is because it stays on the hook well(most fish do like it though), and I am too lazy to buy bloodworms. I may have to though if I want winter corbs! Sharkgirl, I would listen to Anthony as well...keep using that live bait...it will pay off for you eventually with halibut, WSB, etc...let us know how you do!
