Opening day of blackfish is here, we already got a few reports in the canal, sandworms or clams are the best bait for this time of year. We do have limited amount of green crabs in, first come first serve and a limit of 2 dozen per customer. Striper fishing  remains good, out going tide is your friend, the warm water coming out of the creeks and estuaries  pushes the bait out and raises the water temps. Bloodworms are the bait of choice,  but you can use a 3" or 4"paddle tails just do a slow retrieve. Ocean temps are rising slowly, we probably won't see any action off the surf until mid to late April. Don't forget to enter our Quantum Giveaway, you still have time to enter. We are loaded up with Jumbo bloods, regular bloods, and sandworms. Have a great day and tight lines!
