Quick Summation 5/31

[jrodda]

Been doing plenty of fishing the last two weeks, less catching. It's warmed up though. Spent 3 straight nights last week hunting for stripers. Got a (subtle) bite on the pencil popper the first night, friends hooked and lost a few that week. Tried the beach on a grunion run night and never saw the grunions or got any bites.

Monday had a little beach day with Alicia and knocked off the skunk for the weekend with a couple perch.



Thursday I went out with the c-rig morf grub and got a YFC after a lot of dead water.



Not long after, I felt like I picked up a weed, but had a feeling it was another pancake just hanging on. Brought it onto the hard pack before it let go. I was able to touch it before it washed out at least.

Yesterday, Friday, I went out and committed to white grubs. I figured if the halibut are gonna do that with a morf I might have a lot better chance with white. Once again took a while to get bit, but I eventually found the school, and got 6 YFC, 1 queenfish in almost as many casts.





Then started having leader trouble again, now with my fresh Shimano fluoro, breaking leader on hook sets. One break from tangle fatigue, another was a perfectly fresh leader and in the middle of the line. I brought in a mussel shell clump at one point so maybe some of that is drifting around out there slicing line. Missed several more bites before it got dark.

Was your leader material shipped with Bananas Never heard of such trouble with line breakage before.

Nice YFC action !!

Right on Jeremy, you're not only getting out you're catching fish.  Beach, Boat or Pier, I haven't caught a single fish in two months

You need to stop listening to Koga and his leader material!  lol

Nicely done Jeremy.  I had in my mind I was going to surf fish this morning, but once again bailed on my initial plans.  I do miss the old school perch/YFC days, although.... the Spotfin are biting really good and with Stripers around, too many options for my old brain.  lol

Haven't seen a spotfin with my own eyes in a long time, although I'm sure they're around.

Haven't touched Koga's AbrazX stuff in a while, not even sure where it is. Should probably find a use for it at some point.

A few 7# up by you apparently with a 9.5# checked in for the derby also.  They're telling people to not even bring in 5#ers as they won't come close.  (Listening to "Let's Talk Hookup" yesterday at the bay fishing)

check your guides for burrs. Borrow a pair of Tom's panty hose and run it through the guides.

It's mostly below the swivel of the c-rig, so never going into the guides.
