"doing a little fishing for Black Sea Bass."

Black Sea Bass are totally protected in California. It is not legal to fish for them in any way whatsoever (I believe there is a small exception for fisheries research, but no sport fishing is allowed). An incidental catch isn't a problem, as long as the ...

Is it just me, or should protected species be left in the water, rather than being landed?

How do you fish em when they're on rays? Are the fish above, beside, behind?

This is all new to me, and I need to be better prepared next time I go down there.

Capt Reggie,

Whats it like casting a full sinking line, 14' leader, and a Deep Clouser?




Scott

OK. What do those little fingers do?

Weed wacker string???

Good job, Chalk!

What kind of stripping basket do you have, and do you like it?





Scott

I'll know what to look for in the future, but man, the tips of the wings coming up out of the water had me totally fooled.

More line chunkers than I thought...Anyone else?

TaxPhd - You can get Basspro CV2 for about $20 :lol:

I got mine from Biscayne Bay Fly Shop for about $60 - SA Redfish 7 wt

Capt Reggie,

Could you send me the info. also?

Thanks!




Scott

Duh! Just found it. I wonder why the Billy Pate is so much less expensive? Id've thought the anti-reverse would increase the price significantly.




Scott

Double your budget and get a Nautilus CCF 8.

Used Billy Pate / Tibor off of Ebay (New is around $475)

Chalk, where can I get that price? The best I've seen on a Tibor Everglades is $610, and the QC version is $100 more.




Scott

Who else is into $60 fishing line :lol:

My last line was $65, and I don't expect the prices to go down. :smt010

Capt Reggie,
