I went out and hit the peak low tide yesterday and had a fantastic day. I was using a red hula pattern that I tie and landed 15 perch and a shovel nose shark. I then changed to a rootbeer colored grub pattern and got another 7 perch and a nice corbina.

After reading CalicoHunter's account of his grub work I wrapped a #4 hook with hot pink thread, tied on some small barbell eyes, a tuft of brown marabou off the back and then wrapped it with rootbeer cactus chenille. It looks and acts like a oil colored plastic grub.

I hooked a corbina on Friday but he got off as I was bringing him up on shore so this one yesterday was the first official corbina of the year. Thanks.

Sounds like an awesome day! were you fishing in Santa Barbara? Tides look awesome for this weekend, I hope to catch some more of them jurrasic perch on sunday!...Larry
