So it was my little brothers birthday and I decided to take the family fishing. The day before Richards Tackle had some bloodworms and lugworms in stock so I got a couple boxes just in case. As usual we approached our usual pier and got a couple of mussels. When we got there the surf was pounding and it took some coaxing to get my father to come with us to the surf. He's really superstitious of the jetty breaking and getting swept away and stuff but I assured him the engineers in the U.S aren't as laid back as the ones in China We were fishing Carolina Rig 1 1/2 ounce sinker using the above baits. The first fish we landed was a striped bass roughly six or more pounds on a lugworm. From 3 am to sunrise it was wide open on Sargo and Croaker using fresh mussels and lugworms. I'm talking about huge Sargo, the Catalina White Sea Bass bite kind, all of them were at least two or three pounds. The only Corvina of the night unfortunately broke off as my brother couldn't see whether or not it was on the shore yet and yanked a little too hard . Overall if you want to get your game on head to the jetty but fish the beach side. We've had the most luck while the tide was receding but none whatsoever with the incoming high tide.
