So Cal Ocean Vets Advice..

[SkunkedAgain]

I have studied everyone's suggestions from my previous post and weighed them in the balance with my finances at this point in time and although those 3/4 day trips are very tempting, I'll be taking my nephew and I'm not sure he will hold out that long and paying for two will seriously tax my current ability to pay for it... So I've decided to try the 1/2 day cattle car trip out of Dana Point.. My question is, they say you can bring your own gear and it sounds like they mostly fish bait on the bottom, but they mention that spinning reels are available for rent and are easier to cast. What would you recommend taking as far as tackle goes, would you fish jigs rather than bait, and what techniques should I use? Oh it looks like they are mostly catching sand bass lately, with an occasional yellowtail or baracuda mixed in the catch.. Most bass are released, are they protected, or not that great as table fare? Thanks J
