Sabiki rig. Although I had to take off the little plumes that are on the gold hooks in order for the herring to hit. Was rather amusing to see other fishermen get frustrated cause they saw me pulling them up one after another and they'd maybe catch one .bluesea wrote:good to know that bait is around. you were using Sabiki to catch the bait or netting from the beach?.
I wonder why they added those little plumes to them. I used to make my own with tiny gold hooks only. And they worked ( baitless ) just fine on pretty much any kind of bait that was hanging around. Then again, that was before sabiki even made them and the old pilchard rings/nets were still being sold everywhere. Great, now I feel old, lol.
Also forgot to mention huge schools of greenies just past the surf line. Nothing feeding on them though, well, nothing worth mentioning anyway ( just needlefish ).
