Will these people ever learn their lesson? Just what is anyone going to do with all that fish?
maybe now they will, but the ppl next to them wont until they also get cited......
I know your pain. I was fishing plastics down my normal stretch of beach while being followed by 2 fishermen who were tossing frozen anchovies. These guys were using old gear and catching thornbacks, shovels, and small bat rays. Then I hear them yelling and stuff, I look over and they brought up a 30+ incher. I mean come on... and they say luck doesn't count for anything... I did end up getting a 23 incher on my end though.
I notice you liked to use live bait, do you do this for open beach as well as river channel? The water is just starting to get past 57 degrees constantly up here, so the bite will be good in about a week as long as we don't have rain. How's the LMB? We've been doing good on pencil poppers at sunset at my local pond/lake.
We also got two legals that morning, 29" and 26". But I would give those two for that one anyday.
Yeah, I mainly use live bait for butts. I use them in both open and river channel. For open beaches, you have to find trenches/holes. If you can't find those, it's hard using live bait as the wave will push the bait back. But if you find trenches/holes, you can cast the live bait into them and the wave wont be able to push them back cause the waves will just roll over the trench/hole.
You know our parks are pretty heavily pressure so to get them, you usually have to hit it up in the early AM or late PM. I've been getting a few on each outting. Mostly on ikas and senkos, but I've been getting some on sammies and gunfish too. Nothing more exciting than topwater......
