Thanks guys. It's funny because I spent the last 2 weeks collecting small baits. Everything from 1" tube baits, 1.5" grubs, to these tiny little Powerpulse Worms. Must of spent $100 completely reworking my boxes. I hate fishing small stuff, I mean in Newport 4" is small for me. But, in Long Beach everyone uses the tiny stuff and considering how bad I did the three times I fished it before, figured I better follow suit. So, what happens today? All shorts on the small stuff. Switch to the biggest stuff in my boxes, 3 1/2" paddletail zippers and 4" goby's and I'm getting hit left and right. Bag only totaled 5lb5oz, but that was 2lbs more than second if my memory serves correct.

I will definitely keep everyone posted. They are fun tournaments, and as more people come the bigger the prizes and cash will get. Always meet new people and learn new techniques. I look forward to fishing at least one of the freshwaters up north also so I can meet some of our northern brethren. Rob, let me know which ones you'll be hitting so we can "hook up". The next Salt one is in Mission Bay next month I think. More as info becomes complete.
