-
Chris Skinner 0Just a hop and pause retrieve should be fine
-
Evan Anderson 0How should I work it? @Cowboy713
-
Chris Skinner 0Yea, those will be fine too, striper just really like bucktails for whatever reason
-
Evan Anderson 0Okay thanks would plastics work? @Cowboy713
-
Chris Skinner 0Yea, same thing, different name
-
Evan Anderson 0@Cowboy713
-
Evan Anderson 0Okay is a hair jig like a buck tail?
-
Chris Skinner 0Any cut bait will work as long as it's bloody, they have rays there too that will give you a battle
-
Evan Anderson 0I just wanna catch something that will give me a fight what would I use to catch shark? @Cowboy713
-
Chris Skinner 0If the water is warm enough you might be able to but again it's not gonna be like the gulf/Atlantic, people catch more leopard sharks and stuff like that rather ...more than Bulls and blacktips and stuff here
-
Evan Anderson 0@Cowboy713
-
Evan Anderson 0Would I Be able to catch small sharks?
-
Chris Skinner 0Hair jigs, spoons, and poppers would probably be fine for arties, as for bait, whatever you can catch in the surf, plus shrimp, squid, or small crabs should all ...more be fine
-
Evan Anderson 0What baits? Any plastics I should buy? @Cowboy713
-
Chris Skinner 0Well all but the Stripers will take smaller hooks like you're fishing for whiting in the gulf, striper will take circle hooks, but nothing as large as we use ...more for drum fishing
-
Evan Anderson 0Like what? @Cowboy713
-
Chris Skinner 0No reds, or black drum in Cali, you're most likely gonna be chasing corvina striper, and surf perch, all of which can be caught with similar tactics as gulf ...more fish, but with slightly different gear
-
BIG_GAME_TACKLE 0I got some 3' 200# surf rigs for reds, black drum, etc and 5' 200# casting shark rigs all made up and ready to ship
