San Diego & SoCal Fishing Forums

Had a really fun 18 fish day at The Captain today, but I had to go old school to get them.

Started off on top with 2 on the Gunfish. Then I switched to a jig and got a couple more. Then the bite just stopped, so I tied on a pegged Texas rigged Trick worm and evidently that's what they wanted!

Most were 2 pounds clones with a couple of threes and fours scattered in there to keep things interesting. I didn't get a pic of my biggest fish of the day but it had to be close to 5. It choked my bait badly and it took so long doing hook removal that I wanted to just get her back in the water as quickly as possible.

Oh and who said BFS won't work in grass and cover?

Figures...

Awesome job Dan yeah cap I think best bite around now

Nicely done Dan. I think you could get busted with that much grass.

I never said BFS never works in grass (even though McFish tried to quote me with out me saying a word….. but after all he is Mcfish).
Anyway, I just wanted to say what a nice job you did out there at El cap.
Tight lines always buddy!

That looks exactly how my buddy does it. Just drag all the grass with 'em. Makes 'em look bigger.

Is it ok to weigh them with 5lbs of grass on them....asking for a friend (Vinny).....?

Yeah but it becomes more obvious in the picture. In Vinny's case is think it'd be more effective to weigh em with one of those 3 pound chunks of iron he fishes still hooked in it's lips.

Vinny…Im often told they love you if they pick on you. You are loved my friend!!
