It seems to me that October is the best month to fish around here. It's warmer and sunnier than July. With the warming trend starting earlier this week and the moon and sun aligning, we took the day off and hit Maliboo.
The water was cooler, but no matter; the fish were biting. Plenty of bait in the water along with calicos, sand bass and rock fish. Austin had the hot lure of the day: a sardine tail pinned on to a chartreuse jig-head. I'm not sure that I've ever seen that before, but the fish really like it. I guess you could call it bait or lure, dunno
.
We caught around 20 and kept the best 6.
Some nice rock fish:
Here's a nice sand dab (I hope). If he was a sand dab, hypothetically speaking, I hypothetically got 4 nice tacos from him:
The fun fish:
