Went back down to sunset this morning to get some beans. got there, slight breeze and extremely low tide. sweeeeet! beans were sliding everywhere. one problem, the sand was extremely full of pebbles and digging for crabs was taking a toll on my fingers. that and all i could find hard shell crabs. so after fishing for 2 hours with the crabs to no avail, i went to huntington to see if there was anything better to be found there. huge bed under the pier full of good sized hard and softshell crabs, all full of roe. collected about 30 and headed back to sunset. well, now its hightide but there are still a couple of beans to be found. had a pretty decent pick on big perch, smallest being 8" largest 11" caught 8 of them. Still no beans. I have yet to catch a bean when purposely targeting them. tackle= 6 lb. mono mainline, 4 ft. 6 lb. flouro leader, 1/4 oz. sliding sinker, size 12 hook, sand crab bait tons of beans but got the skunk...any tips or modifications would be helpful, plan on going back out tomorrow but going to grab the better crabs at huntington first.
