Got it. BTW, bad form on my part, congrats on a good day. It has been the same way from the beach. I take it that they were feeding on the bay anchovies, or was it sand eels?

I did notice that, as the days have worn on, a lot of the fish we get will take the rear hook, which I find to be unusual. Most of the time bass take the front, and I use an upturned siwash on the rear to minimize the 2nd hook from taking. I figure that they are just so gorged that they are lazy and just snapping at things out of instinct rather than going in for the kill. Also, if you have not, you may want to think about going barbless when the fish are like that.

Johnny, one of my pals does the same thing as Dan with the 2x siwash thing, and he hooks up at the same rate as me.

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing.

Good to know. Thanks for the info. Can't beat getting the same rate of hookups and not having to use trebles. I second your words on fishing barbless - Bob finally has me convinced. 90% of my trips, I'm not looking to keep fish and fishing barbless helps for a quick release with minimal damage.

I hope the beaches are treating you well. I'll be down for a few days next week.
