Today my dad and I fished the Big Bay for anything that pulled. Apon arrival the bait was THICK but almost nothing except birds were feasting on them. Nothing on the jerkbaits, topwater, etc. so we switched to the go-to 1/4 leadhead with an MC-swimbait in "brown grunion" although it is more of a green-smelty pattern. We were able to get a few bass to play with almost of all them being nicer grade in the 12"+ range (for me at least my dad only caught dinks :lol: :wink:).
Choked!
Right at the base of the rocks, my swimbait came to a dead stop. There were initial heavy headshakes and then a short burst run. Seeing the tail swirl and color gave it away...
Finally after 7 years of fishing the bays and surf my first legal hali! It may have only been 23"-24" but sure felt good to get that one off my back. After that we worked our way back to the car picking up one more bass.
Thanks for reading! Nicky
