SB Leo

[LONGCAST JOE]

Met up with Chad in VC, gave it a couple hours without a bump but conditions were stellar...decided to try a new spot he'd been scoping out up in SB to see if one of us could put the first SB shark on the board...nothing for the board but wasn't a total loss...got this 55" Leo later in the night...still trying to find a site I can figure out how to post pics from my cell phone..Chad, if this doesn't show, post up the pic for me would ya?

[xjchad]

Good seeing you again Joe!  We'll get an SB shark for the list soon, I think this spot has good potential.
Here's your leo.

Nice session guys!  We fished last night and I was pretty confident even with the lack of bites, but the Squatch was ready to go.  I would have been thrilled with a big 55" leopard!  Nice one Joe!

Times two, I love leos.  BTW Joe, did you hang it on your new Phenix?

Verne- Yes I did, on the new 14' Phenix Black Diamond, new big baitrunner 14000, new spot, new county...it's like a brand new world 😃

"Long rod hangover"  (Joe can explain  )

Luckily I have a 5 day weekend, but not really meaning to, fell asleep 😴 in my truck last night after long rodding. Woke up this morning and decided as long as I'm here I might as well go back down to the beach and give the LC a few casts...boom! Halibut for T-Day

[Pinoyfisher]

You're hardcore Joe! Someone is about to score a legit grinner soon!!

[sasquatch]

More jealous of that halibut than the leopard, and it is a nice leopard.

What bait are you using for the Leo's? You have put some big ones on the sand. I have just been getting the the baby's all under 12" on the critter rod and would love to get a nice sized one. They don't seem to touch my long rod.

You have to stop with the double hook drop rig and go with either a fish finder or better yet a 3' 3 way with at least a 10/0 hook and a serious chunk of bait, preferably a nice juicy mac head or bonito head.

Big bait, big fish

I love that double drop, just need to make them longer. I think I am going to make up a 6 foot one

[spideyjg]

A double drop shot with squish head gets all sorts of attention.

Just not from big grinners.
