Didn't mean to come on so strong in that post. Feel a little foolish (Barnie) but had a few brewkies and seemed like the right thing at the time. :D

I hit Carlsbad State Beach this morning with much better results than yesterday. I must have caught 30 Perch but no Godzillas. I bought a Shimano Sedona 2000FA Spinner to go along with my new 8'3" HMXS Fenwick Salmon/Steelhead Rod that I got on sale through www.tacklethief.com thanks to Catfish. Wow...sweet little outfit!

The grub of choice today was a Mojo 1.5" I don't know the name of it. Its a goldish yellow with gold flake. I call it the pineapple express! lol. The Bards were just slamming the tar out of them. Like Amish Ed in another post, I had no luck today with the nosehook method so I reverted back to the old way with the #8 Mustad hooks and they started chewin' pretty good. Don't know why but I'll continue to try both in the future.

That stretch of beach between the two jetties just north of the Power Plant is pretty sweet. Easy access, free parking, and lots of sand.

Tight Lines Everyone!
