Went back to Skinner after a recon last week and had better success this time around. Got to the gates at 530 n waited till they let us in. Once in we went straight to rent a boat n make bait. This time we came prepared with an aerater to keep the shad alive longer n live shad is the key to our success this trip. After getting our share of shad we went straight to the same spot as last week n got one in the boat 10 minutes later about 5lbs. For the first hour of soaking our bait we put 7 fish in the boat all between 5-8 lb. My girlfriends son caught his first ever striper a nice fat 8.5 lber n was the biggest of th trip. We ended up with 11nice stripers to take home when all was said n done. It was an awsome trip with plenty of action n the weather even cooperated with us until we left it didn't rain.

I took some pictures but don't know how to upload from phone to my post yet. I'll ask my nephew to show me later or any help from any of u guys would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

As long as no more than 3 hooks are used why would sabikis be illegal? You can just cut them in half. Still catch fish.

So who knows??? I called the skinner front booth, the store, and the marina, and no one who works at Skinner knows.
I would guess the 3 hook sabiki is Ok. If someone really knows, please post...

I think it probably has something to do with the distinction between snagging and the shad taking the sabiki by mouth. Snagging is illegal, but I have had a guide who uses sabikis tell me that the shad actually take them by mouth. I have no personal experience either way.

4.05. Bait Fish Capture Methods.

(a) Approved bait fish may be taken only by hand, with a dip net, or with traps not over three feet in greatest dimension. Such bait fish may not be purchased, bartered, sold, transferred or traded; or transported alive from the location where taken. Any other species taken shall be returned to the water immediately. Traps need not be closely attended. Dip net use: A dip net must be hand held, and the motion of a dip net shall be caused only by the physical effort of the operator. A dip net may not be moved through the water by any mechanical force or motorized device.

This will work at Castaic now. That layer of dink striper that were at 100 ft a month ago are just below 120 ft now. Go get them!

Shad do for a fact take the Sabiki by mouth same as sardines, mackerel, chovies... I also have caught all you want shad at corona on a midge fly. So i'm sure they hit the sabiki as if they were aquatic organisms. I heard the 3 hook sabiki is legal but never confirmed with DFG. If anybody has, please chime in.

If you have no more than 3 hooks, and catch the shad IN THE MOUTH (not snagging) its totally legal.
