Landed my first Spottie!

We are talking about "Paralabrax maculatofasciatus", are we not? Could you please explain the "not finfish" part?

Preferred colors in our neck of the woods are Chartreuse, White, Chartreuse, White, Chartreuse, White...

Hinting around at what works best for me, and also what works best for a ton of others as well. This is not to say that other shit doesn't work. Far from it. Some guys are fanatical spinnerbait guys, some are crankbait guys. And these guys kick some serious ass with their methods. But I've had assloads of 50-fish days working the tides right with a cheeeep-ass white grub bathed in unibutter/procure/hot sauce, etc...

I hope that "dockpounder" does not imply sexual relations with a dock. Im pretty sure that is frowned upon.
