Corvina Evening

Last evening my neighbor Tom returns home to tie on a new lure. He had taken his dog for a walk and decided to take his pole with him. He had caught and released two nice corvina and was going to head back down the beach for a couple more. So I tagged along. Here's Tom with a couple of nice corvina. I was having one of those days.... broke a rod tip, and lost two lures due to operator error tying knots and another because of a broken swivel. I did manage to catch one corvina that helped the frustration and it was the evenings' largest. Appears like I'm having one of those mornings too. Can only get 2 of 5 pics uploaded. Here they are until I figure it out.

My fish

We caught 5 before we called it a night. Lots of fun even with the operator errors.
Edit: one more pic

Russ, Try a popping float. The corvina will hear it and come to your bait.

Cypress, I have/do use poppers and the roosters take them but so far no corvina. I tried dt's sub walker yesterday with no love and went back to the kroc for the one fish. I've made the repair to the broken tip and am ready to try again this evening. I hope to remember to put any food away tonight though because Mason got my treasured croissants last night.
Wiley, The Bubba extension is too long for the weight of the boat and it's soft suspension. I'm going to try to shorten it 4' and try again. Must be a real downer not to be able to putz around the house/garage. Hopefully you have some good days you can get out and break stuff like me. Job security.

Not twenty minutes ago, I clipped off a rod tip in the cab window

Fortunately I am the kind of fisher who carries three other conventional rods as well as three fly rods

There has been a good corvina bite down here at Santa Rosalia too, and they seem to like a blue fastrac trolled from a kayak.

I've heard that story a lot. Glad you had backup. Caught a green jack from shore this morning then took the boat out for these.

I thought it was a parrot fish of some type. What ever it is it was really good eating. Here's the jack I caught from shore. Could be a leatherback but again I'm not really good at remembering fish ID.
