It's Tough to Come Up With New Titles When the Fishing Hasn't Changed Much
First, shop news…
We received a shipment of new hats, and these are going to be a hit for those who are not huge fans of trucker hats. Our new Grumpys Tackle Premium UV Lite Snapback hat is a more technical version of the classic trucker hat. The hat is a structured 6 panel trucker-style hat with a high crown and a slight curve to the visor. The mesh of a trucker hat is replaced with a perforated UV Lite fabric, allowing for both ventilation and SPF50 sun protection. For those of you who are “folically challenged” (like Ray), you will have a hat that won’t overheat you like a 6 panel cotton cap, and won’t give you ridiculous tan lines on your head like a standard mesh trucker hat.
We have restocked Madd Mantis products, specifically, the Cherry Poppers and Planks. The tuna bite is starting, make sure you are ready.
The fishing still remains on the slow side, as the water is STILL COLD! Your best bet remains targeting fluke in the surf with bucktails and Gulp! or spot in the bay using squid, clams or fishbites on a spot rig or a sabiki rig.
The absolute best reports we have received came back from the crabbers. Crabbing has been the best we have heard of in a while.
As mentioned above, we are hearing about a tuna bite finally starting, mostly in the canyons so far.
A recent notable catch:
@shell_e._caris with a beautiful 3.90lb Fluke caught on a jerk bait off the surf.
We had an incident at the shop recently that, now that some time has past, I feel I can make a vague reference to. For this incident, Ray played both the part of detective and superhero. Now, those familiar with super heroes will know that Batman started off as more of a masked detective than the masked billionaire superhero he is portrayed as today. Ray is now fancying himself as Batman, without the billionaire part. He is even starting to dress the part…
