Went to Dana point(the jetty) this morning with my uncle and brother and we got the big SKUNK :(. I started out using my aura black 100 pointer for no luck at all. Then we bought anchovies and squid. Absolutely nothing was hitting the anchovies ,but my uncle did manage to catch a baby calico(released of course) and a pinky sized sculpin lol(also released). The water was very calm and the waves were really small and it was very sunny,however i guess the fish aren't in the mood to bite. We left by 11:30 beautiful day to bad we went home empty handed.

Steve (Flyngby) is right, don't give up... that's a really productive area to fish. Take your time to recon the entire harbor including the surrounding beaches and you will find some great spots. :Wink: Good luck!

Thanks for the inspiration :) I'll try even harder next time to fish every place possible. Its weird though i have never caught a hali or any fish on my lucky craft lure yet(aura black 100) is the 110 that much better?

I think what you meant to say is that you used the LC Aurora Black 100SP right? The one that has only two trebles? That model does work but I prefer to use the Flash Minnow 110 version with three treble hooks on it. It dives just the right depth in the surf and have just the right action on a slow & steady retrieve. Good luck out there next time. :Cool:
