| Not all fishes lay eggs. |
| Fishes like split fins, surf-perches, and some sharks instead carry and give birth to live young. Scientists have also discovered that the embryos of some of these fishes actually consume each other in the womb. How’s that for creepy fish facts? |

Feb 15, 2009; 04:24PM - Make 'Em Last : Save A Grub
|

Author Name: Nathan
|
|
Tip&Trick Description 1:
Make your grubs, curly tails, dingers, etc last by sliding the grub past the eye of the hook and then stick a toothpick/shaved wood into the eye and cut the ends. This prevents throwing the grub off even after a few hits. Also play with the cutting to change a lure's action. |

Jul 28, 2002; 08:55PM - Catalina Island White Seabass Biting
|
|
Category: California Southern

July 14th 2002.
I got a call from a buddy that the white seabass
were biting at Catalina on the back side east end.
We debated going and decided to go on Sunday
afternoon to see if we could make bait that night
and get back to the fishing grounds early. As we
went up west along the backside we decided to drop
on the spot and fish it with iron. White colored
iron has always worked best for me in the past and
one of my favorites is the Tady #9 in white. I now
have found another favorite the Yo-zuri Blanka in
assorted weights from 40-150 grams a luminous deep
water jig from Japan. I have tried to fish it with
the treble hook but I like to bait my lures and in
doing so on a treble hook you violate the IGFA
rules and regulations and any fish caught with a
baited treble hook is disqualified from any world
records.
I tried a new single hook of mine called a Maruto
on the Blanka and found out a little time spent
sharpening the hook would have paid off big time
the next day. Nothing that night so we went off to
get the bait and dropped over the little 12 volt
Brinkman Starfire II underwater light. Drifting the
light on the bait grounds near the comercial light
boats paid off but only about 1 1/2 scoops total
for us.
Next morning at grey light we watched the Amigo out
of Newport Landing start catching fish. After about
a dozen we decided to move a bit closer to them.
Instant bites after our move for Bill but for me
strike after strike with none sticking attributing
this to the dull hook of mine. Then after he had 2
on the boat I caught my first. We ended up with a
full limit 6 seabass 2 legal halibut and one
yellowtail. Biggest fish was 30 plus pound seabass.
A good day of fishing for sure but I will sharpen
all my hooks prior to departure as I definately had
more bites with less sticking on my jig than Bill.
Bill is a professional white seabass fisherman and
I am convinced I will outfish him once I have the
right hook for the lure.....Tight lines if you get
out...Steve
