     It’s just a tough fish to catch. Pretty cagey. I saw 8 on my last outing and not one bite. I think that maybe the water was too clear and they could see me. Keep at it. Please share a pic if/WHEN you score Anthony. Good luck!

   is the bead tied right above the hook in that picture or how does it stay there? definitely a tough fish to catch, the elusive corbina

     You could use a loose eye knot like the Perfection Loop (look it up on YouTube), but I just keep it loose above the hook. You’re usually reeling in against the tide anyway.

     Let us know how it goes. BTW, where are you finding sand crabs? Kind of hard to come by this time of year
