Any of you guys going to be around this weekend in SB? I am thinking about hittin up the Starust 1/2 day, most likely on Saturday. I haven't checked what their schedule is yet but I'm guessing it will be open party..

Rob,
If you do charge the stardust on saturday, aim for the afternoon run cause I have to work in the morning.

sweet
sounds good. Lets plan for afternoon run.

The 2 for 1 has been updated by uh... someone.
Print it out and lets go.

Can't do it because I've got to be home by 11:00. I will be tubing the harbor area in the morning though - quite possibly off the sandbar since that's where I got them last weekend. Wave to me as you go by!

What'd you get dude. Halibut still biting down there ? I heard the weather was like 80 degrees recently. Maybe the calico bite will pick up :-)

Rob,

A few halibut (shorts) on the shallow minnow baits. A few short strikes on plastic (could be yellowfin croakers). Last Sunday morning the water off the sand bar was really clear - I could clearly see the bottom at up to 15 feet. I got slammed hard on a Rebel Spoonbill Minnow that dives about 10 feet. I was sitting just off the dropoff in about 13 feet. It was a big fish but it came unbuttoned after a few seconds.

A fly fisherman supposedly got a 12 pound halibut the weekend before last.

The water has been sitting at about 55 degrees for the past couple weeks but I'm hoping this week of sun has warmed things up a bit.

Shoot maybe I should pack the tube in the truck. Winter just hasn't come yet down there yet it seems like.
Have you tried gamakatsku hooks at all for those minnows? I am a total believer.

Rob,

It's not wide open or anything but they are around if you're willing to work for them. I got skunked Sunday but Mike scraped up a 19 incher.

I haven't tried Gami hooks yet because I really like the Perma Steel finish. I find it rusts the slowest of all the finishes I've tried. After a few shots I think I have found the hook for the minnows. It's the VMC 7651 PS.

That's cool
I guess the gamakatsku hooks would probably rust out pretty quick.
I had another question for you along those lines.
What do you guys do as far as trying to deal with unhooking shorts caught on the rip bait type lures. I have a bad enough time with the single hook swimbaits. I guess you probably just get good at releasing them and carry a long pair of needlenose.
So are you guys going to be out there Saturday morning tubing in the harbor?
