First time I went we thought it had to be better all the way at the end. It wasn't. We caught a couple legal lings about 1/2 way back, but the guys fishing the north side near the base of the jetty out-fished us easily. Decided to never go all the way out there again. Sealions galore. The rocks out there are very slick with bird ****. Not to mention they're the size of Volkswagens. Felt-soled boots with cleats would be my recommendation, in addition to the pfd.
Thank you Bullkllr this is what I needed. Don’t have the felts but will certainly start working just passed the surf on the north. Thanks again!

Nice catch there Fasteddie. :tup:I'd say that's pretty good for a 1st time jetty trip. Glad you had some success.
Especially for the south side never got anything but perch and sharks over there

Went back for the closure yesterday. No Pic’s! But I scored two nice Bass two decent Greenling and one Cabazon. The problem I have is getting a good hook set on the Lings. I had a few nice ones on only to have them get off. Problem #2 packing too much weight! Monday I packed a lot by hand. Yesterday I backpacked so I could bring a net. A plus was I wore my Spiky’s which I think saved me from slipping. By next season I hope to have a good system that won’t kill this old man.Nice catch there Fasteddie. :tup:I'd say that's pretty good for a 1st time jetty trip. Glad you had some success.

The lings can be tough out there, we used to lose a lot on jigs. Their jaws are so dang strong I feel like half the time you’re fighting one they’re not really hooked but just hanging on, then they simply let go and you’re done.
It Was frustrating to say the least, having them spooling line and making me wonder if the old HMG was going to survive sometimes right up to the rocks then gone. Anyway I’m fixin to nail-um next year.

I use those Gulp grubs quite a bit, love them except for when you have smaller fish bite them, then they always seem to bite just the tail of the grub off. That white is my favorite, that and the new penny color.
I've had good luck with the Kalin's Ultimate Swim Bait jigheads, the 3/4 oz. jighead has a 5/0 hook and works well at jetties and doesn't sink too fast with the big Gulp grub on it. When I'm on my boat at the jetties I use a slightly heavier jig, like a 1.5oz or 2oz. But those heavier ones aren't as good for shore fishing IMO because they sink faster and are more prone to diving in between rocks and snagging. Can't jig as effectively when they sink so fast. Kalin's also makes the Ultimate Bullet Jig in the same size, they both work well. As well as the Sea Striker got-cha heads, their 1oz jig has a 4/0 hook. I typically get the unpainted to save money, I haven't had any reason to believe the painted ones get any more strikes. If you're fishing with Gulp then it just doesn't matter if the jighead is painted or not, they are biting no matter what!
