El Capitan baits 4/19

[Dannicus]

Caught 8 fatties at El Cap today. 2 on my trusty standby jig:

It's a 1/8 oz. green crawfish Bitsy Bug with a green pumpkin Z-Man TRD Bugz trailer.

All the rest were caught on this, which has become a favorite and I have caught a lot of fish on it in all San Diego lakes.

It's a green pumpkin Crush City Ned BLT Texas rigged on a 2/0 EWG. The weight is a 1/8 oz Nako skirted punch weight. I used to peg it, but I stopped and I actually think it improved the bite.

I like the Crush City Ned. It's ribbed and has a linger thinner "tail" which I think gives it more action than the Z-Man Ned

I work it pretty much like I would a jig, from right on the bank or in the tules, all the way out to 30 feet of water. It's probably been my most productive lure for the last month.

I hope some of you find this useful.
Cheers

Dan, I'm just starting to use softbaits a little more, thanks to @EL_prowler_619 and his lizard magic and @Pourboy and his patient jig teaching, so seeing the details really helps. Thanks!
