Tested the Jetty rod yesterday.
« on: December 05, 2016, 08:49:00 AM »
It is an improvement on trying to use a shorter rod. I got fewer snags and was able to drop the line straight down into tight spots.

No pics but 2 small calicos, one garibaldi, and a small sheepshead. All tossed back

Walking way out on a rock jetty is for younger knees.

That jetty is a killer if it was the MB jetty.  Maybe soon, you'll find the legal ling hiding in the nooks and crannies.  8)

Am I alone in this, or has anyone else thought about trying that NorCal style of fishing, poke poling?

You are not alone. Runs through my mind while I am up at my folks and the rocks are out at low tide.

Amen to that.

Gone are my days of hopping from rock to rock with a 12pk in one hand with my rod and tackle box in the other :(
Anybody have an emergency beer?
