Marina Del Rey -more toad action but no halibut satisfaction

[gletemfeelsteelgary]

Hit the Marina Jetty for Halibut last night with Rez, the flatties didn’t want to party, I had high expectations as I went there Saturday night and caught 3.

Sandsharks were dancing about and were running rampant.

I caught 6 Thornback sandsharks and 1 Toad Shovelnose sandshark, that sucka put up a great fight.

Rez caught 2 Thornback sandsharks.

Carolina rigged "stitched" sardines were the preferrede method till we ran out, then cut mackeral was on their menu.

In about 6-8' of water

I’ll return for another hunt for more adventure soon.

Gary
P.S.
Yes thats water all over me, the surf was crashing hard last night, I got doused about 5 times real good !

Yea boy, nice work out there gary! Do you ever sleep. I bet you hibernate once a year...haha Time for me to hit up San Clemente pier. I caught a 80lb ray about a year ago. You should get a scale a weigh those things.

What kind of set up do you usually use?

I use a Sealine, 20 lb, 4 oz, with a 2 ft leader. (seems to work pretty well).

Didn't recognize you with out the hat....lmao

I've said before, sleep is for the weak !!!! I can sleep after I die, live life and enjoy it....yeah buddy, strike while the irons hot or the action for that matter,
I'll be helping the publics kids fish tomorrow morning at the castaic lagoon event (insert plug here-bring the kids out tomorrow)
and killing mr Stripey on sunday morning, going for 2k run after attending CPR training, I'll go for a brisk 5 mile bike ride after work, then chop wood for the fire later that evening...j/k

I will be at the lake helping the kiddies tomorrow, come join the fun....

If your asking bout the rig for my Batty, I was running 50lb mono for a while but those big boys were snapping it off.
I've gone to 50 lb gorrilla braid on a baitcaster, rigged with a sliding pyramid sinker,nead % #5/0 Gamagakstu hook.

Fer the flatties, simple carolina rig, 15 lb test on 1 pole, 8 lb on the other, the shark above was caught on 15 lb test...."STITCH IT"

I remember the good ol days when gary used to fish in lakes. Those were the days before he caught the bat fever. Now weve lost him to lurking around dark back bays and marinas looking for any area he can land a tripple dig batty. Man that fever is no joke. I hope I dont catch it!
