Fished from 6am-2pm. Spent most of my efforts thoroughly working Zuniga jetty. I’m totally intrigued by the calicos on there right now. They are there, but I can’t get them to commit. I learned A LOT today. I would find areas of fish and they would bite but they wouldn’t hang on. I was working a big jig and a little finess jig. Nothing was really working. Of course I tried other lures too. I finally started catching better fish by using a softer tail. The softness got em to hang on just enough. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/fishtricks/100_1296.jpg I got this guy after switching tails. They would bite it once then, I would jig it, and they would bite it again. This was my biggest caleekmo. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/fishtricks/100_1199.jpg Slow to grow, so chew them slow.
I discovered a hole that was 33’ right on the jetty. It was packed with 14-15†sandies. I was alternating between a Spinbomb and a 5†swimbait. I was catching bass on almost every cast. I quickly put 5 of those bad boys on the ice and my grocery shopping was done for the day. 4 and 20 sandbass baked in a pie.
I eventually went inside and started catching fish regularly. I jumped back and forth between the Barges and the uprights. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/fishtricks/NewSBB.jpg I named this one Annabella, and whispered in his ear, “But I like candy when it’s wrapped in a sweater.â€
Sandbass are literally a dime a dozen right now. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/fishtricks/100_1289.jpg The only challenge is trying to find a bigger one.
Barely legal hali, released, I don’t do barley legals. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/fishtricks/newhali.jpg
Parvati and me Lord, were pretty good company. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/fishtricks/100_1303.jpg
Getting low on time,…I went over to the bait barge to rack up the score. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/fishtricks/100_1304.jpg Living on jigs, vitamin C, and sandbass,…. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/fishtricks/100_1307.jpg Smile for the money shot! (Same 2 as above) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/fishtricks/100_1311.jpg Ended up with 5 calicos, some sculpin, some cuda, some bonito, and at least 25 sandies http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v388/fishtricks/100_1250.jpg OIXXX!!
