SDBayBassMan Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 (edited) It's been a while since I've posted in the Flipside and with all of the fishing I've done over the last few years, I thought it was time to contribute to SU. I feel like I've evolved a lot as an angler, so I wanted to briefly share some of my fish, both big and small I've caught on the swimbait. Big bait doesn't always mean big fish, but sometimes, it does. I'm still aiming for my double digit calico and in time I think I'll get there. If you guys have caught any saltwater species on your swimbaits, post them in the thread below or feel free to give any tips or stories on how you got them. Here are some photos of fish, big and small, I've caught on some of my swimbaits. I look forward to seeing what you guys are catching out there too.

Fishstix024 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Did you get that WSB on a swimmer?? Being from NorCal I don't get to fish the salt as much as I like to. But, I have a couple trips planned this summer. Going on a 2.5 day on the Pacific Voyager end of June. And hopefully a multi day trip on the RP in August. I'm planning on bringing the triple trouts to throw at kelps. Maybe get lucky and get a Dodo or YT. Last summer we were down by Alijos Rocks and got on a huge schools of dodos, my buddy threw a WhopperPlopper and boated 3-4! So sick!

Kenji, Yes, I got the WSB on a 5" MC Viejo's in a Christmas tree pattern and a 1 oz warbaits head. That has always been one of my go to baits. I would definitely bring a couple triple trouts down on your trip. I have whopper popper in my arsenal but haven't really fished it too much yet. I'd really like to get a yellowtail or tuna on a topwater rat though. Would be pretty sick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
