 I only bait fish for salmon but a guy could easily get two days worth of tackle in those unless he likes catching reef more then fish, then you could run out of tackle.  :smt044

If anyone is looking for a guide to hook into reef fish, rock fish, or tree fish I am the guy.  I seem to catch (snag) more of these than anything else.  Next time there is a drought, I am going to Folsom lake at rattlesnake bar and loading up on gear  :smt005

Drop a sabiki and pick up a live bait.  Or give em something completely different, bright color Swimbait or bucktail.  Looks like you were located, sometimes it just takes some current or or tide shift to get em to go, I would have stuck all day till they got hungry.

Really wanted to make some bait, but left the sabikis at home in a separate tackle bag. :smt013 Need to consolidate!
Grab one of these..... it holds three of those..... I have 9 of those boxes right now set up in sets of 3 for what I’m targeting and simply grab the 3 for what I’m fishing for.... now salmon is a whole different box cuz the gear won’t fit in these or those! I only bait fish for salmon but a guy could easily get two days worth of tackle in those unless he likes catching reef more then fish, then you could run out of tackle.  :smt044

That’s a good solution, I have several of those boxes. The bag makes them nicely interchangeable.

Hey Mojo Jojo, I notice you’re in Tillamook? I did a delivery to the creamery this morning. Managed to get into the sporting goods shop down the road right when they were closing yesterday. That was probably fortunate for me as I would have spent way too much if I had more time. I did grab a couple things, but it would’ve been cool to get a good look around.

Hey Mojo Jojo, I really appreciate the offer. I mostly deliver to the wineries up there, so seldom make it to the coast. This was my first time to Tillamook. If I end up there again for a weekend, I’ll definitely hit you up! Thanks :smt001

If it’s in the summer time bring your ocean rod, I have a couple of extra wetsuit in 2xl and maybe xl and we can hit PC for some rockfish! I’d love to fish with some of you guys but being on SSI’s limited “your screwed” disability I cant afford to get down there.
