Caught off the surf at Redondo, using the Chika Chika pattern Lucky Craft. 20lb braid on a Penn Fierce III, 9'0 Okuma Hawaiian Custom.
I cast into a noticeable rip current and was quickly bit by this 26"er. I kept casting into the school in hopes of landing another. Hooked up twice more, but both ...

I've gotten four of these in three trips and pulled the hook on about the same number. Frustrating. Using bigger-than-average sand crabs, which are a lot of work to find. But there doesn't seem to be an alternative.
Lots of other fish to catch. This morning, I tried the negative tide with a ...

Had a few leftover bloodworms getting ripe in the frig so headed out to MB this AM. Conditions not ideal, strong surge, somewhat dirty water & lot of salad. If not bit within 3-4 minutes, line loaded up with grass. Not that I was getting any bites, nary a nibble. After an hour decided to head up to ...

Fished the section just believe Grant Lake and if you know anything about this particular stretch you know how technical and spooky the fish are in here. We stop by ...

Recently moved to Flagstaff AZ from San Diego, and I figured y'all would find this interesting. I have been fishing Oak Creek Canyon heavily, catching wild browns, stocked rainbows, and native Gila trout. The Gilas seem to love dries, especially hopper reaction bites when the fly hits the water ...

Burned a lot of calories, caught a lot of bass. Easily one of my favorite ways to fish
