Best color is a clear choice

[Gotfish?]

Saw large schools of 2" slough anchovies in the harbor I was fishing in today. The clear curly tail grub worked better than anything else I tried (full disclosure: did not try a junebug craw though). I used the same lure as 2 weeks ago when I got the 26.8 lb halibut, lure shown below for reference. I am assuming it was a spawn and have seen that in previous years about this time too. I attracts lots of predator fish when it happens.

Wound up with 86 spotties, 3 halibut, 1 corvina. Fished from 6 am to 3:20 pm. About 90% were on the clear grub. A bait fish that was vomited up is shown for reference, you can see the clear lure looks similar in color. Clear is not a popular color but it works. Ball head jig and grub are from Carpkiller's factory. Went thru 1 grub tail today, otherwise no loss of tackle.

Absolutely killing them out there! Nice job matching the hatch!

Those are some numbers for sure. That halibut looks pretty full.

Didn't measure it, probably 23-24" or so. Released it.

How about small batch, handcrafted, custom, bespoke and boutique lures?
