6078, Ever Catch Fish On A Bare Hook?
Posted by TBrumfield, Thu May-16-02 07:42 AM
Surffished Dana Point from 9 to 10:30am today. Surf was pretty big with some kelp in the water, but it was still fishable. Used frozen sandcrabs for bait...caught/released 5 barred surfperch. Four were good sized (around 9 inches) and one dink. Saw no sign of corbina at all. One was actually caught on a bare hook (hungry fish)!?. When casting, one of my crabs flew off on my hi/lo setup, so I started reeling in and got a hookup...the other crab was still on while I beached the perch. It seems I have only been getting perch for a long time...am anxious to get something else! Has anyone else caught fish before on a bare hook?
