Belmont 3/20
Launched at 630, paddled down to the pier to snake a couple muscles to bait the sabiki. Got hammered by mackerel, caught about 40+. Kept some to stock the freezer for catfish and pier fishing. Fly lined some of the little guys in hopes of a good hali. No such luck. Rigged up the dropshot with gulp 4" nuclear chicken jerk shad. Couple hits followed by a hard strike that grabbed and ran for a solid 5 seconds and spit the bait. I'm assuming it was a decent hali but it cut and run. Better luck next time but at least I've got a freezer full of bait. Oh and a 14" lizard fish...

Nice report. Good to see bigger baits still around with all the worry that's out there these days.

I would try to add a little weight if fishing for halibut. Not sure flyline will get down to them. |
