DP 03-23

[PapaDave]

I was rigged up with the hook tied straight to the braid, sliding sinker and a split shot to keep that from going all the way to the hook. Not sure what the name of that type would be. I ended up switching to a light wire at the end due to so many that bit through the line. Was originally trying to get the lad on some halibut and bass with maybe a keeper.

I launch from DP Jet Ski and try to get out there by 9am, I live in Menifee and it is a long drive. But I can do it earlier if you guys want to start out sooner. I usually stay out until sunset, unless I run out of bait.

Weather permitting, and barring any unforseen family events, I will be out there this Saturday. Might bring Amos, the boy in the pic, if it is okay with his mom.

Shouldn't need a steel leader, bay bass have bigger teeth than leopards.

I beg to differ, not only are they bigger, but they are sharper and there is a mouth full.

I use 15-20 braid when fishing these so thier teeth and skin go through it rather easily. I have landed them without the wire though.

I use a wire called Knot2Kinky, 18lb, very thin, you can actually tie knots with it.

Braid is not abrasive resistant at all, their skin alone would rub through that, mono however is actually quite abrasion resistant.
