What is this!?

Filed under: Salt Water Fishing,The Daily Flash Minnow — admin @ 4:30 pm November 2, 2011

Since I newly bought the annual parking pass, it’ll be a waste if I don’t make the most out of it! So I went back to Bolsa Chica this week where I haven’t got any catches yet. I started fishing early in the morning hoping to catch a large size Halibut. Before high tide around this time, the ocean water flows into the river so it is the opposite direction from last time!! I cast my lure and I needed to calculate the water flow while retrieving. It was important to choose your points. Bolsa Chica is fun!

I used the usual FM110 (Pearl color) and continuously cast, but didn’t get any bites. Time just passed and it became fully high tide. The water level was pretty high so I changed my lure to the PT100DD (MS Anchovy)! And this worked!! On my very first cast a big one ate it. I’ve never seen my rod so bent before. Not only that, it had a strong pull and it even felt close to Striper fishing! I was excited to think I finally caught a large size Halibut but……. Unfortunately when I pulled it up it wasn’t a Halibut but something else? It’s red? What is this? I’ve never seen such a fish before. I pulled it up to the shore and took a picture of it and asked my saltwater master T what it was. He told me it is a fish called Covina. I guess it is generally caught with fish baits and often comes along the pier. It was my very first fish caught with the ESG rod! Cheers with some Coke!
