Never carolina rigged for sw bass.I do really well drop shotting the 5" gulps in a variety of colors. Fished the pipe from a friends boat their last tuesday for a couple of nice bass, all on plastic. The bass fishing at dp really slowed down in the last couple of years. Id like to see more fisherman practicing catch and release on the calicos. I wish all the bass fishing was catch and release. Carolina is my go to rig for lmb. It hasn't let me down yet!

I'm hoping to get out there Sunday also. Maybe I'll see you guys out there.

Alright, you baited me.
First, the last "couple years" have been strong La Nina w/ a negative (cold) PDO (Pacific Decadal Oscillation) . It stands to reason that bass fishing would be slower with below average water temperatures. I'm also leaning toward the abundance of coastal WSB #'s and almost 18months straight of market squid spawn cycles as a result of the cooler water cycle.
"Just because you can't catch them doesn't mean they're not there."

2nd, I bet that thresher in your avatar is thinking, "Id like to see more fisherman practicing catch and release on the threshers. Or at least release me at the water, and not dragged up on deck."
