1 In Every 3 Casts... Until the Magnets Showed Up (9/9)

[Latimeria]

I'm heading out in my buddy's boat tomorrow to do a little experimental fishing.  Basically we're going to have a Plan-A to Plan-F so need to figure out what tackle I'm going to bring. 

In the meantime, I woke up pretty early to at least give the bay a go.  I threw the 98RS LC looking for a corvina, but they weren't cooperating.



I just decided to catch something because in the past few months I've struck out with my "Go Big or Go Home" mantra.  I switched up to a weedless grub and the fish were just on fire!  I did lose quite a few due to the "weed-guard", but basically got bit on every three casts for the next hour or two.  Mostly typical 10" models, but got a handful of bigger ones up to ~15".





I forgot how fun it was "Pickle Bass'in"



The Eternity rod is so much fun on these critters!



I got a half dozen that were 12" or more which was really nice.



My big one put up a scrappy fight from the rocks!



I watched a few guys in the distance fishing, but my old eyes (even with glasses) are terrible.  As I was fishing, I hear a "Hey, Hey you..."....  I turn around and it's no other than Phong and Nicky!  LOL, I swear I always seem to bump into them down there!



We fished and caught up for a bit.  Phong and Nicky both lured all the fish to them and for some reason all of my bites stopped!  lol



They caught a bunch of quality spotties before I had to make my way back.  As I got closer to my truck, I cast out and on the first retrieve, get slammed.  I picked up a few more spotties and called it the morning.  I'm guessing I got around 20 this morning.  It was one of the better shore spotty trips in a while, so I left satisfied.



I'm sure whatever bass lips I didn't pierce, Phong and Nicky did.  That area will need to recoup.  LOL

Thanks for reading!

Super solid spotty session.

Curious to see what Plans A-F are for you tomorrow, good luck.

I know what I want to do, but my buddy has different ideas.  We have literally 6 options, but his PLAN-A is something I don't fish for too much... if ever.

Hmm. Phong and Nicky, pickle weed, dead giveaway.

That's quite the roster for that piece of shoreline. Those bass never had a chance.
