Big Lures= Big Fish (12/23)
« on: December 23, 2023, 02:41:27 PM »
Except in my case this morning. I heard of a striper caught last week in the bay and had visions of beating Jeremy to the punch (although I've caught them in Torrey Pines before, just for the fun of competition)

I tried the LC for an hour for nada...

I tried a 4" MC on a 1/2oz head figuring I could avoid the Pee-pee bass.... but nope.  Pee-pee bass love the 4" MC also.



I caught a half dozen with none over 10" and decided to head home.  On the way, I felt the need to take an exit and look for some fossils.  My plan was to only take really nice ones and leave the encased nodules and pieces behind. 
I got a pocket full and scored my first Shark tooth from this spot.  Looks like a sand tiger, but it's really worn so I'm not 100% sure.  I'm not even 100% of this age of the fossils since it is fill from the 1950's and the location of the fill has never been disclosed.



Anyway, cool find.  I thought it was a bit of twig or crab claw at first, but I grew a big smile after I picked it up.





Well, it just felt good to get out of the house this morning.

Thanks for reading!
