Balboa Pier Mack Attack 4/18 & 4/19

Great job on the Mac's! I've never used a Sabiki but I bet it's a blast! It looks like fun!
Just a few weeks ago I had to yank :EyePop: a 4X #4 treble out of my hand :Embarrassed:, it was not fun... but it had to be done!

Well it sounds like you are all ready to put the stink to the cats .... good luck on those! I'll be looking forward to those reports!

Thanx for the fun read with pic's! :Cool:

It appears as though those good old days are gone. Lol
Luckily once in awhile it comes back around and goes WFO! Thanks for reading my report bro.

Great to hear that the bait is stacked up that much out there! Good luck on the getting those slimers on Mr. Whiskers!:Wink:

Don

Thanks Don! It's amazing sometimes how much fun it can be catching bait. I think a lot of it is the company your fishing with also.

Thanks Vic! I made several trips out last year and the Mack's were just not there. It was a blast to finally hit a trip on the money and stockpile some bait.

Glad to hear that my post helped out your Pastor and his sons! With you around I would assume they had all the info they need!
Keep up your great reports bro!

I have never used a sabiki rig how small of hooks do they have? do you guys use any glow in the dark baits attached to them?

I think I prefer the thumb over the lip! Lol
Sabiki hooks come in a variety of sizes but are all fairly small. As far as using the glow sticks, I find that they can be productive. But I notice the seal lions are attracted to them also because they know a free meal is close by! Lol
Therefore I don't use them personally.

Dan the man, you win the pain battle with the beast hook! Lol
My hook was small but was sprung so hard that it went in one side and out the other on the tip of my thumb and the hook was too small to cut the barb off so I had no choice but to rip it out! Lol
Thanks for reading my report.

Brother Dan... 57 Macks!!! Now how cool is that?!?
Dana may have something to do with that... :Wink:
Man, it must be at least 20 years since I fished off a pier, good times! :Big Grin:
Hope you catch a Monster Kitty with all that bait. :Razz:

Thanks Arthur! I was thinking about Dana when I finished counting out my catch! I'm not a catfish specialist but I am defiantly going to give it a serious shot this season. I know a few guys that are masters with the kitty's! Lol Hope to see you soon my friend!

I stopped buying sabiki rigs, now I just tie my own, and i use hooks that dont break after two hours :D
