All around 15-25 lbs and then cart them back to the town dock. Is get one that I would bring out to the boat for dinner. They made it look easy. I'm certain that if I went there now and replicated their technique, I'd be lucky to pick up 2 or 3 if any...
But, I talk to south county guys and they said at that time south county was devoid of striped bass... Nada. Sounds a lot like today.

The moratorium wasn't until 88 or89 (I forget) and yes, there were no stripers in SoCo. There was a bait store at Monahans back then called Top of The Dock. One morning in 91 or 92 i caught 5 schoolies at Deep Hole and went to Top of the Dock and told the owner. he threw me out of the store and accused me of lying.
