Wednesday morning at SB pier was a typical slow and steady winter session. Thornbacks and Jacksmelt were present. Anchovies and Lizardfish moved into the pier and were hitting sabiki's. Small anchovies around three to four inches.

I used both live baits on Carolina rigs and caught some large Lizardfish, a Jacksmelt, a Barracuda (short) and Thornbacks. No Halibut or Bass!

It was a fun opportunity to catch the anchovies and use them to land larger fish.

Fished a rising tide. Good luck everyone!

Love that that sized anchovies were around. Great eating and the best bait!

Thanks for the report!
