3-3 lj
 

mackeral......whole squid didnt last a '5-count' before they were stripped.

really windy and bumpy at launch time, no squid to be caught, wind died and it was nice around 8. no fish whatsoever. even tried to get some calicos.....still got hammered by the macs deep in the kelp, could not keep a squid on the hook.


:sleep:

nice day though

Thanks, these are the reports that make work much more tolerable:D

It does look like we are in a great weather pattern right now.....After Fred Hal is over, I am going fishin':cool:

Crock with mac pinned on it.
 

In Northern Baja the mac's are also always thick like that the way we catch the wsb is we cast a super crocodile, mega bait, or iron catch a mac pin the crock on the mac's head and send it down. It works like a charm in Baja i think the seabass like it like that because it makes the mac look like an easy dinner wondering if that ever works in LJ when the mac is thick. Has anyone tried that?

I once hooked a mac (on a half day boat) on a big kroc, which was then chomped by a yellow, but I farmed it. Thanks for the report. I was out on saturday and couldn't find squid, so headed north for halibut. No bites at all. Lots of seals in the northern region, most I've seen up that way.

tried deadstick iron with mac tip many times
 

also tried with live and dead squid last weekend for nothing. Haven't tried with a shiny Kroc though.

For some reason Baja WSB seem to love the big crocs, but at LJ and Catalina they don't seem to work...at least for me.:o
