Casting lures at La Jolla

[Matt_Magnone]

My favorite way of fishing local is throwing the plug, but it's pretty tough to put a cast on your mark in the sit down position. I've seen fish I know I could hit, but have a little harder time loading the rod the same as if I were on a boat. Fish have to be in fairly close range and you be in a position to plant a cast on their forehead. Luck plays a huge factor. I've done it, but if you weigh the odds between bait and iron, bait usually comes out on top. This is also coming from a guy that throws $450 lures days on end for double digit bass on the lakes. It's all about time.

The yo yo however is deadly as all hell.

Like Mike said, make bait, kill yourself a couple fish and then go to surface jail and dedicate your time for that major reward. All my fish this year have been blind.
