I've been "plugging" whatever loose term that is (was throwing a calissa) for the past half a year now just trying to understand the basics of how a jerkbait is worked and how it will work in the surf. I have never bass fished so I have very little knowledge of using any kind of lures and have always been a bait and wait fisherman until I decided last year that I would exclusively try my hand at using lures. Suffice to say that it has definitely been an extremely fun and challenging experience. Moving to the Santa Cruz area has allowed me to have this great opportunity of exploring all the beaches around this area and fishing whenever I can because of how close everything is. This was caught around Santa Cruz.
I know there is a lot of sand on the fish but I did rinse it off and immediately disposed of the fish by puncturing its brain and bleeding it out. My prep for this fish is to make some sashimi so I froze it and use the rest of it for a korean spicy fish stew (maeuntang) as it's one of my favorite dishes.
this was a 23" and right after I caught a shaker
