Yeah, I just looked at the torn up mack and I knew that that was the only word to describe it. It might have been a sea lion, I'll have to order some mackeral bombs off of you...
REPORT- Went to Escondido and the swell came up slightly overnight. Made it out OK, didnt even try to make bait, just went straight to plastics. I fished by the moored sailboats and caught a limit of dink bass. I was farming a lot of them so when I finally started hooking them, I was repeatedly setting the hook on 6 inch bass. Probly would have been funny to see underwater. I finally caught a 13 inch 'but, and a 20-21 inch 'but. The 13 incher was caught on the shallow running fastrac and the other was on a Kilime FT. I have been getting the wrong impression of the Fastrac all this time because I have been using the shallow running version. Ill have to give the deep diving one a try. I have been loosing too many FTs in the kelp.
Next week Ill target the T-Sharks. It seems I only catch them when Im trolling for halibut. Too bad you cant target both on the same rig. Anyone have any advice on for an adequate T-shark rig?
Thanks,
Tommy
