It's been a long time since I've been able to post a fish report with pictures.  Hopefully this works today.  I'm going to try Imgur and see how it goes...

Got out fishing this last weekend at the LAB Sat and Sun.  The water is the warmest I can remember.  Fished about 4-5 hours both days starting around noon.  The bite was better Saturday for about 20 fish, mostly spotties and a good hali just about legal.  Sunday was slower with 6 spotties and 1 sandy.  The last spottie was a chunk though and a PB or at least equal to it.   Sent me home with a smile Very Happy

Used 10 lb Izor XXX tied to 10 and 14 lb fluoro leaders.  One rod set up with a 1/4 oz leadhead jig and the other with a 1/4 oz dropshot.  Both had Zman 3" plastics rigged up.  Just started using Zman and like it so far.  Will continue to experiment with them but I like the durability so far.

Thanks for reading

Thanks for that report! I have been totally focused upon the halibut and am trying out this method and it has proven successful for Bass, but any tips for the Halibut? I have been mostly fishing live smelt but am just wondering how to best entice these “big butts”?

SD Ray I don't really rig my dropshot any different for bass or halibut. I guess after enough time a butt just decides to eat it instead of a bass. I've acutally heard live bait is very effective so I think you'll get a big one sooner or later on live smelt

That is good to know as I always have thought there wasn’t a real big difference. Fingers crossed
