"Croakers I'd Like to Poke"
Packed up the car and went to Mothers Beach today. Found the right size crabs with roe and went to the pier.
Started jigging a sabiki with a spoon at point. Watched in amazement as a shadow lifted off the bottom and snatched the spoon... only to come unbuttoned moments later. Wonder what it was; bass? hali? sculpin? Began working the other side of the pier and noticed a pod of four massive fish cruising in about seven feet of water. Couldn't tell if they were corbina or spotfin or what. They'd moved away by the time I'd baited up with the crab.
Cast a nice one out anyway and was rewarded with this one.

yet another personal best yfc! Guess it pays to catch dinks all the time 'cause I'm nailling a PB every trip now!!!
Next time we'll bring one rig with the sabiki/jigging spoon set-up, one with c-riged crab and one with a drop-shot (to fish peas and corn.) That way we'll have our bases covered.
Fun day.
