Rat Bite in the Bay?

Written By Bill Siemantel

I've been putting in time around the local bays in my small skiff, with a handful of fish to show for it. Recently, I got out with my buddy Jorge Bejar, and I managed to stick this halibut on the BBZ-1 Rat 50 in Chrome.

The rat is clearly effective from a boat, but it can be just as effective from the beaches and rocks as well. My buddy Preston Jones was pounding the shores of San Diego, putting in his footwork and time. He was throwing the SPRO BBZ-1 Rat 50 in Black and Red. He casted parallel to the rocks, and halfway through his slow and steady retrieve, this monster Spotted Bay Bass blew up on his rat like it owed him money!

As the weather continues to heat up, so will the fishing. We are nearing the much anticipated summer bite, so make sure to stay posted for the “on the water” reports and updates!
