    Sand Bass+Spawning. Why? Do they bite differently, pre or post spawn, to lures like fresh water large mouth Bass?

    I always remember pounding them in July. As for the spawn, I'm a retired amateur icthyologist so I have no idea on habits, but if you fish the Huntington Flats or off San Onofre when they are "spawning", it's WFO on a nice grade of fish. I've had days with 50+ fish with many going 4 pounds and a couple of better grade fish.

    Should be REALLY soon, the bigger and smaller models have been showing up all around Long Beach & structure recently, which they do every year before the spawn.

    Pulled these 2 pigs off the Wall last night, 6.2 & 5.6lbs :










    It's more fun before they move to the flats and WAAYYYYY less crowded!

    Hi ghettodad,

    I too am worried big time on the fishery when it comes to dumb ol' Sandies and the voracious GSs. Hate those Giant Squid. They ravage a place til there is nothing left ..... then ..... move on. Hope our little Calicos have enough sense to go hide in the kelp!

    I do not know exactly how many Giant squids are out there locally. But the local moo-moo boats have been killing them in huge numbers. All through out the week for awhile now. Sandies should be okay...
