Gave the Garrrr another shot today. It's been such and one and off year for these things that I figured any day is as good as any other to try instead of trying to follow a bite pattern. Anyway, they were a no show again. My daughter and I whacked the heck out of the Sculpin, though. The boat (Monte Carlo) sat on one spot the whole time and we just picked away. Kept one nice limit and released many others. Mostly, I'd hook up and hand it to her to reel in although she did manage to hook and land several by herself.
The hot bait is a swimbait on a 1oz leadhead with a strip of squid. We also caught a few on a dropper loop with strips. The boat recommended tying a sinker to the bottom and having one or two swimbaits above it which worked well for lots of people. I'm sure the boat limited out. Heck, we probably caught at least 20-25 legals between us and another 15 or so shorts.
The weather was nice. Breezy with some mild wind chop but no real swell to speak of.
