Hello FNN,
My name is Jason, long time lurker... first time posting.. I did some fishing at the jetti in seal beach this past sunday. Arrived early before sunrise to catch a few smelts for bait. A ton of bait in the harbors now what a difference a week makes. Casted out a live smelt while i was throwing the big hammer in sexy smelt color and got a few hits but no takers. Decided to check my smelt and on the reel in hooked up into my first halibut of the year about 15 inches which was released safely back in the ocean after a quick picture. Casted another smelt out and continued with the big hammer. Got a good hit on the big hammer, set the hook and was fighting it for a bit until it took me unto the rocks and that was that. An hour later we moved spots and my buddy hooks up onto a short WSB about 16 inches... released. It started to get hot so we called it a day. Overall a great day of fishing getting away from the hustle of work. Looking forward to getting out there again!
