Had the itch for a while but the storm kept me outta the surf til Thursday. And the mods don't like anyone else's company so willis and I rolled down to the pier Thursday round 545 to see if the bonita were bitin so we could soak some primo baits round sunset. Maid 3 bonita and a phat mack between us when we could poach a spot on the good side when the flurries happened, hot bait was the LC which produced 2 bonies at a time during the best flurries, and the bubble & feather that would almost always get slammed when they were eating. Willis got 3 bonies on CRig Rapala and I got the mack on a sabiki. Got to the sand round 745 as the sunset a  few mins later. 2nd 20 min soak in I get a slack line bite and reel in a wiggler on a fresh mack tail I soaked twice.



Hooked in the tounge and she leaked like a sink but swam away strong and fast.

2 soaks later willis hooks up to a freight train on a chunk of bonita. Screamed off 80yrds in bout 2 mins b4 the hook popped, came back with a blunt tip... most likely a bat hooked in the mouth plate. He was pissed for a few mins, never under stand how it happens but it does... what can u do. Keep at it.

Maybe 30mins later I get bit on a mack chunk and have a screamer on for maybe 30-40 secs b4 same $h!t hook pulls and I think the new braid I jus spooled on my new coronado buried into itself on the initial run. And I wasn't sure how tight my drag actually was as that was the 1st fish I'd hooked on it. Made a few adjustments to the drag and hucked a phat bonita chunk out and within 10mins I'm bit again. Straight freight train run pretty much put the guessing out and 5-6 mins later I had a decent bat on the hard pack.





We gave it one more soak after that and both got chewed up but nothing stuck. Not a terrible night but left me wanting a grinner. We'll be back out there on monday, hopefully with fresh bait again, talks of a yellowtail landed and dodos being hooked on weds were all the buzz on the pier, so a few live macks soakin from the pier wouldn't be a bad idea, while waitin for swimmers to leave b4 prime time from the sand. The crowds are only gonna get worse when the heat finally kicks up, but the fish are active, every bait we sent out got chewed up or was gone when retrieved.
