Carrillo report

[Gigafish]

Got out to the launch about 9:50am. Extreme fog then 10 minutes later it cleared up. Got out to the bait barge to see all of the bait cages stacked up. I wasn’t able to fish as I was rigged up for bait. Nice peddle out to the light house and a cool paddle back in. Nice to get a little sunshine. Should be foggy for Sunday.

You must mean Cabrillo? They pull the tanks for cleaning every year in the winter. And they don't always have bait that you might want. Always carry a Sabiki for backup.

Agreed, I don't think I've ever not been able to make at least 3-4 grunion/smelt out there within 200 yards of the beach.

I can't recall exactly how long its been but its safe to say that I have only purchased bait once maybe twice in at least 6+ years, that includes the times that I fished Cabrillo. You can usually find bait along the ledges, in the shipping lanes or right near the light house.

Don't get all worked up and go out and buy a sabiki rod, just go out and pick up a few sabikis, get a small bait casting rod and a light reel and you're good to go.
