Cherry Beach 3/19

Launched at Cherry Beach about 7:30 for my first session this year. I trolled a crankbait and krocodile toward White Island for about 20 small, perfect bait-size macs. I fished around the island for a number of small calicoes and sand bass using a 1/4 oz. lead head with small big hammer or twister tail fished SLOOOOW on the bottom. Slow pick but just enough to stay interested. Name:  image.jpg

Sounds like it was worthwhile. How many ounces is your trolled Kroc? I trolled too light b4, maybe it has to be 1 ounce at least?

Conditions look awesome! Sounded like you made a decent day on the water out of it

When I fish in the Long Beach Harbor, I like to troll a deep diving crank bait, and a Krocodile spoon, #4 on Saturday, because you're spending a lot of time between spots and I want to make sure I have baits in the water between the oil islands or going to the break wall or whatever. I've caught a variety of fish using this shallow/deep approach in the harbor. That's not cranking on the pedals, either, and I don't have turbo fins or whatever. Just fast enough to get good action on the crankbait and you're good. I assume even the heavier #4 spoon is only running a few feet deep at a couple mph or less, the crank maybe 8' or so. You never know what's going to pick one of them up. I caught a pretty decent thresher out there on a small crankbait.
