Went back this afternoon with some white Gulp! 3" shrimp and wore em out. We landed over 50, most over 15", but the limit is 5 per person. Landed three sharks on cut bait, the smallest was gut hooked, so we kept him. Also got a spanish mackerel on the Gulp! My shoulder is actually a little sore. Great day.

Hey HS! Whats up man?
Got into the trout again yesterday. They weren't hitting quite as much, but the surf was a lot rougher. Three of us went out there, were a couple shy of limiting. Had a blast. Other than a little windy, the weather was perfect.

Huh, I don't see a message from you man. The Taco has had zero problems, I really like it. We are using white and light grey GULP! brand artificial shrimp on white jig head, floating them about 18 inches under Cajun Thunder popping corks. Cast, pop it once or twice, doing a very slow retrieval, popping it every so often on the way in. This is on the Gulf side, in the grass flats in the bays the Nuclear Chicken colored GULP! shrimp was working pretty good a few weeks ago.
I doubt she'll be going anymore with me, we split a while back. Don't worry though, I've got plenty of hot chicks wanting to go fishing this summer. I'll post pics!
Anyways, yeah those corks work awesome with artificial and natural bait. We managed to eat most all that fish from last week, so a buddy and I went yesterday. I lost one of my big shark rigs to a big boy. Then turned around and caught this one on my ultralight rod on 8lbs test. It was a blast.

We limited on trout and caught a Spanish too.

My buddy had several Spanish cut his line. He had started using different lures after limiting and didn't want to use a leader. It was fun. Taking a couple guys out there tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we can catch a few.
Where are you located? I'm curious because you said the limit was 5 per person?
It's 25 per person out here in LA.
