Just looking for something to bite, barred surf perch and corbina are the main quarry, with some interest on halibut,
never thought that the perch would go for such large piece of plastic, I guess I have to try it out.

for the moment the baits I use mostly are sand crabs if i find them and clams. ocacionally i use blood worms but am a bit of a cheapskate to use them regularly.

havent fully turned to plastics, I gess i have to build a bit of confidence, to me it seems that if the fish wont bite fresh bait i dont think they'll go for the rubber. I need to figure out what sort of conditions make them bite, tide / time of day / temperature / location... lately I'm at a 65-75% skunk ratio, seems that everytime I'm able to get to the beach the tide is at its lowest and/or is full of people or weed. once I determine those conditions and consistently find them critters I'll introduce them to the rubber diet. meanwhile I'll be stocking my box with grubs and swim tails.
