Your bottom fishing results are uncanny. You'd think you were fishing points north of Morro Bay. Congrats.

Sheep
Larry,
Ive heard for years how good Sheeps are, yet the last time I actaully ate one or tried to it was horrid! Perhaps its the water up here, perhaps I got sloppy in filleting and knicked the bile duct and spoiled it. I dont know... Do they really taste that good? ps enjoy your posts.... |

Some tips that everyone should know. The key is not to spend your time reeling up and killing little tiny fish that you don't want. Right? This juvenile 'bycatch' is what gives deep rockfishing a bad name in the MLPA/enviro world. Less-equipped people may get their limit of keepers, plus, kill 10 or 20 babies in the process. This is unsustainable and makes you just want to stop. How do you combat that? Just think for a minute. If you used a 7/0 circle hook, a big bait, a high modulus graphite rod and 200 feet of no stretch spectra/braid and only tighten up when you feel a big headshake bite, you wouldn't catch little ones. If you fish the 2 oz plastics, and only set the hook when the BIG THUMP happens, you get keepers. In order to feel what is happening with your rig, you HAVE to have spectra/braided line and a quality graphite rod. Again I do not use J hooks with bait, just big circle hooks, in big baits. I do not ever jig big Irons on the bottom, that just kills little fish. I will be fishing this Sunday in South LJ. I will be launching from Big Rock around 6:30 - 7. Big Rock beach access is near the end of Winamar St in La Jolla. The winds will be light and the surf will be flat. |
