Hey Marcsee,

WARNING ALL OF MY POSTS ARE LONG...

I noticed that in one of your posts you said you fished the sea on 0422, I believe I was there on the same day... We probably crossed each others lines a few times :).

As far as the fishing yesterday is concerned (May 1st) it started out REAL tough, the wind was howlin from the north-north east, the little jetty was getting some pretty large breakers, and the water was a little lighter colored than it has been of late. Talked to the park ranger and she said that it was supposed to blow hard all day...but being the hardcore angler that i am I decided to stay... well two hours later, with my xtra-tuffs full of water and wet pretty much all the way to my boxers the fish decided to chew...HARD, they started to bite at about 1130 (i got there at 810) and they did not stop!!! We had to leave them bitin cause I did not want to drive through that thick as_ fog in the mountains. The wind died down about an hour after the fish started up.

All of my fish came on BH's (#33,#50, and some new color that is not on their website). I've never fished the storm lures but if you live in the san diego area you can swing by Boss tackle and buy big hammers and you'll do just fine..

As far as technique is concerned we always try to stay in constant contact with the bottom, by holding our rod tips down and grinding so that you can feel your lure bumping against the rocks (this imitates the little croakers, and tilapia feeding) If you're fishing a red leadhead the paint should be scraped off of the bottom after a few casts.

specific #s' I ended up with 13 fish to 15-2, my buddy chris (who was on fire) probably ended up with 16 or so fish and francis probably caught 10... All in all my best day at the sea yet.

So if you get there and the conditions suck try to stay awhile, time before last it rained on me, but they still bit..you just gotta believe }>

Tight Lines.....
