I can catch fish casting towards the breakers surf fishing but I cant get the corbina to bite in the estuary swimming in the shallows. I have tried jerk baits and thrown it right in front of their face and they ignore it. I will be heading out there on Saturday. Do you FNNers have any advice for these stubbern fish.
THANKS

Got this from the DFG website, "They are very wary and difficult to hook as many an avid surf fisherman can affirm. Perhaps one reason is that they tend to mouth and chew their food and don't strike solidly very often. Sand crabs (usually softshells) are the preferred bait, though some anglers swear by blood worms, mussels, clams, pileworms, and ghost shrimp." The only luck i've had on em was with shrimp and a SUPER sharp hook. Good luck out there man!
