Catching Bait Locations
Hello All,
After throwing plastics all last year, I ponied up and got the Kayatank and I am ready to go for the big boys. I have heard people mention catching bait beyond the pier. I am assuming Scripps?? Where abouts up there? Are their other semi-reliable spots? Also, any preference on the type or size of the Sabiki? Thanks for your help. I look forward to getting something with some serious size |

Scripps pier is correct. You can get a jump start on the bait in the dark. The baits are attracted to the night lights and the structure. Although this time of year, greylight comes pretty early, and bait is plentiful right at the kelp edge inside the point.
I like the owner sabikis with 4 hooks and 20# test...I just swapped out the one I had tied up for 6 months...that's like 50 years old in sabiki years. |

I don't think it matters that much - all sabikis seem to work.

sabiki
I have had really good luck with #8 sabikis from Sport Chalet. They are about $4.80 and come with 6 "flies". Good luck!

I'm a big fan of #6 cheapo's off of ebay. $1 each, toss when beat up. Throw a jig on as the sinker and you'll be surprised what else you catch.

Another cheap and good option are the Ahi brand sabikis. They are somewhere around $2 each at OEX and seem to be of better quality than the other cheapies I've tried.
