Allejo Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 I would love to keep fishing for them. I’m 100% catch and release, crushed barbs etc. but I assume the poaching would be worse and all those people who love taking a million pics of bass they dragged over rocks and dry sand would be out and accidentally killing many of our resident bass so maybe we need to give them a break.

They will also enhale mole crab flys out front. Mole crab fly. That’s a great idea. Got any pics? I “tied” a weighted hook into a mole crab pattern, never used it, left it outside at the in laws former shore house and it rusted through. (Thought it was a SW hook but I guess not!!) saltyh2ofly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken some big stripers on that rod- your gonna love it! I use the 7' casting MH for fluking and togging and it is great for that so I hope you are right. It sucks they replaced it with the mojo inshore or whatever that has horrible reviews. If they replace one more USA rod with a Mexico rod I might finally try another company but I have no idea who else makes USA rods in the $200-$300 range.

Poaching is illegal regardless. If they’re not out year round, it’s only due to the cold - not the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suntzu Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Nice out there today, very nice warm, light winds, clean water and a few fish around. Also evidence of a small calico shed. Today might be it for quite some time, various OEMs in towns down here getting concerned about Monday with ESE gusts to 70 possible on a full moon tide adams54, DeeMonee, EricDice and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane1091 Posted January 13, 2022 Report Share Posted January 13, 2022 Tog trip gonna be canceled again. This is why I don't bother going ocean fishing in winter. I agreed to some 24 hour cod thing last year and it got canceled three times before I said forget it I'm out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foureel Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 OC today from noon to 6pm. Beautiful day with nice temps and was hoping for more action. Did manage two 20'' fish on yellow teasers. There was ice in the lagoons and along the edge of the bay when I drove in. I think I may have heard a very large woman singing on the way home DeeMonee, East Coaster and Jeff B 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allejo Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Fished from 5pm until 8pm. I called it early. Usually is gut it out until 1am. Three fishy looking beaches in three different town which typically have been good to me late in the season. For goodness sake do I miss some of those jetties. I thought thought the bay ice might change the fish out front. Maybe I should have used a teaser but no hint hit a 3.5in paddle tail either. Info from a buddy said not to bother moving north. Sometimes I pride myself in being able to end the season on fish but sometimes the true fisherman’s way would be fish until you only skunk and you really know it’s over. Tonight I’m going with the late though I know someone will post fish tomorrow, lol. Jeff B, EricDice and adams54 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

27conch Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hurricane1091. You mentioned USA made casting rods. You should check out Falcon. They make mostly freshwater bass rods, but I have been using their spinning rods for like 30 years now. Super good product in the $100 range. The Shimano Compre rods,while not USA made, are fantastic as well. I have a few of their casting rods. adams54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff B Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Today NoMoCo, noon to 6pm. Nice weather, nice looking water, loons and birds working, more bunker than I've seen all season. Foul hooked like 27 of them. No bumps, no swirls, no bass. Think thats a wrap til spring ! DeeMonee, East Coaster and adams54 3 JB ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
