Regular spots,  skunked
Different spot, same skunks.

I may be 15 to 20 trips with jack squat

Are you still using the croaker for bait?  I'd switch up to smaller mackerel steaks or squid just to get some interest.  Once you get the skunk off your back, it will open the opportunities to play around with different and bigger baits.

That sucks boss.  Did you have anything plucking at your bait at all?
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

30 more trips like that and you might end up with a plaque.

Other than some bait damage from little stuff, crabs or something, nothing,

Used fresh croaker, store bought yellowtail, and some probably too old bonito.

The only catch in all those trips is croaker, little leos, and small tractors on my bait making rod. I'm going to do a bait purge on garbage day and hit the piers for restocking.

Will try squid alone next trip out.

Get off of the sand go catch some fresh bait! Also, buy some squid. Binh and will head out soon.
