El Capitan 1/16

Post by Dannicus »

Had a great time at El Capitan today. 9 fish in total. I threw my new Berkeley Triple Minnow rig for a while, and got no bites, but to be fair, I really need to put in some time learning to fish it. It does look good in the water.

All 9 fish came on a NED bait on a 1/8 oz jig. They liked it when I would cast it right onto the bank then plop it into the water. It was a beautiful day and not too much wind.

This came just in time! Planning on fishing El Cap tomorrow. I’ll be tossing the ned rig, but I just picked up a new setup for my moving baits that I have yet to break in, so hopefully I’ll be able to get on one or two crankbait fish as well. Thanks for the intel, and tight lines!

Of course brother I always try to share. I know Chris (@Pourboy ) has been having a lot of success with a Berkeley Magic Swimmer, and Jeremy (@CorsoEnthusiast ) has been killing them on Neko rigs.
