It was a in coming tide and TommyTuna was hot stick this morning as he caught a leopard sharks, Shovel nose Sharks, brown back Shark?, Bat Ray, Barred Perch, 5 nice Corbina’s up to 3.5lbs.

The hot bait today was Ghost Shrimp and blood worms.

Ron had a 5lbs plus corbina that he fought for a good 5 minutes, but it’s a fish story because it spit the hook in 3″(inches) of water. I saw the TAIL and it was a good 7″(inches) wide and all of 24″ (inches) long.

Now we have POOR Buddy, he got SKUNKED today. He couldn’t find a soft shell sand crab to save his life, the plastics didn’t even get a smell.

It was a great morning bite…..

For an all around reel with a great drag system, The Shimano Torium reel is for you.

There is not a reel on the market, for the price you pay that compares with the Torium by Shimano. I’ve tried lots of them. This reel is very affordable.

If price is no object, buy a Trinidad by Shimano. They both have the same drag system but there is more quality in the Trinidad…

If your trying to get rid of Rods or Reels, New World camping and fishing will put it in there display case and sell it for you.

Everyone is looking for a good deal at Tackle shops.

There phone # (213) 384-4777 and talk to John Yoh (owner) Don’t forget to let him know that tommytuna referred you to him…

What color lures are they using for the tunas (trolling) I want to be prepared.
