A few Checkered swimbait fish - 9 & 6

Went looking offshore Tuesday for mahi and yellowtail, never found any.

 

We decided to swing by Clemente and found a great pick on some nicer grade calicos.

 

99% on the weedless #6 Pearl swimbait in PBOT color - a few on the 3:16 Mack bait

 

Big fish of the day - thought it would go 10 when we netted it but just a few ounces shy of the mark...it bit in about 5 feet of water and left a hole on the surface about 3 feet in diameter.

So this next fish is over 6lbs - however when the guy holding it is the size of an NFL linebacker it looks more like 3-4

Great day of straight swimbait fishing - we figured 150 fish in about 7 hours

Thanks everyone, it was a good day!

 

 

Nice Calicos. You should try fishing a mc slug in the kelp one time, it's a really fun way to fish.

 

 

Yep, been doing that for many years - with Cory's & Mike Stembridge's baits - I love watching them blow up on the kelp matts!

Sweet, i just got into them and i've been trying to get a largemouth on one. I fished them slow the first time but im going to try burning them on the surface next time.
