Had 2 good tugs on the LC near the rocks, but didn't stick. What fish managed to escape three razor sharp trebles? My guess is something with a very hard mouth. Saw one episode of fish boiling near the point, but no seemed to be hooking up, except for one guy who landed a Kelp bass. Will try again during the week. [edit, next time I will leave the cooler at home to eliminate the jinx]

Believe me, i've been skunked plenty of times down there.
I noticed the barracuda only bite real early in the morning.
6:30, 7:00 the bite is over. Bomito, usually the bite for me is over around 9:00. I put some scent on my LC. Just to kill human smell. I just changed my retrieve. I noticed, if I let it sit and then soon as I pump it, I get hit sometimes. I'm always changing it up and always walking around. I cover a lot of water. Good luck.

Thanks for the tips. I even did a 2nd session at Mission Pt. Park post bagel run, same result. I will mix it up and move around. Since I had 20 other guys to my left not hooking up, I took my two misses as a victory.
