Mission Beach 3/5

Post by Nelson 1 »

Been awhile since I posted anything. Fish the morning for 3 hours. Caught 11 Perch. Nothing bigger than 10 inches. Was digging in my garden yesterday looking for a night crawlers to try. Did not find any . But I did find a grub. Put it in a ziplock baggie and took it with met. Got one on that grub.

I believe they are June Bug larive. Tuff skins. I put it on a high low rig. Dried sand worms on the bottom hook. Grub on the top hook. It took less than a minute and fish on.

I was thinking of you and your snails while picking up more mussels the other day. Asian market had a bunch of snail meat but I talked myself out of it on account of already having a giant bag of frozen mussels in my hand and not needing to jam any more bait into our freezer :lol:

If anyone complains about them, just say they are the escargot for dinner. ;) ….

No need. I just hook them thru their shells.
