Well i went out again tonite.

Same thing, but just me this time.

Sun goes down, macks go to SCHOOL....heavy.

Sabikis, flylined (got too windy) and a weighted dropper loop all worked. Bait of choice was squid.

Had to look around and find who was catchin the most and "position" myself a lil closer.

Around 8 the bite started HOT and continued until i left at 830 again. Still biting.
Caught 17 this time in 90 minutes, the pier is trully INFESTED at night.

Also got a couple bonitas, shortys around 8 inches (have to be 18???) They werent mack, so im sure they were bonies. Werent sardines either,

If your close, i suggest an 8pm trip to Belmont is your a mack fan.

Hey Mike, no size limit on bonito. Iam about fifteen minutes from Belmont pier. Close to the pier, their is a pub called Belmont brewing company. They make their own beer. I like going to get myself a couple of pints of beer before I do some night fishing.

Jaime

Thanks for the heads up Jaime. Maybe we'll meet up there one day for a pint and some fish

Considering i havent really got into a good bite until 730ish...i was thinkn maybe show up at Belmont Pier around 7. Get the poles in the water by 730 and hopefully run into a HUGE school of macks. If theyre like they were, we should be able to get at least 15 a peice within a couple hours tops.

Sounds cool man. Check your PM too.
I'll try it again thursday. I think the mack were interested in the bait fish that were everywhere...the macks were literally jumping out on a feeding frenzy just killin these lil guys...then the seadogs would roll in :cursing:

Hey Mike,

So it's fun to get out there for a couple of hours when you've been sitting behind a computer and desk for 8-10 hours talking with people all day.

Agreed, was cold n windy and the bite was slow last night, still enjoyed it
