Hali has been biting indeed. I was fishing LJ the other day and saw a guy landing 4 halis using swimbait. I was using shrimps so no hali for me. Caught 2 calicos though.


Yes. I've been fishing for a couple of months. In the last few days (im on staycation) I've caught 4 hali, all small. Cant ...

blackcloud9 Not really into the perch thing, just got that handle from 2 buds since I would somehow always get a perch during those skunk sessions.

:shock: ok good, at least I know it wasn’t “just me.” That was bananas out there.


The inshore buoys were showing 6 to 7 feet this morning. Probably the biggest surf we'll see until October. The beaches fish better when the buoys are reading below 3'.
