seatech Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightsessions Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Nice Calicos. You should try fishing a mc slug in the kelp one time, it's a really fun way to fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seatech Posted September 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
