Getting Bit
A subtle tick followed by run off so heavy that there's no way it's your bait. A bite so light you have to thumb the spool to see if it's your bait, or if you're getting bit. An explosion, followed by a "Oh %*, that's on my bait" out loud thought. Going into gear and never getting to turn the handle before watching Spectra melt off a 50- size reel from what feels like the cow you have been trying to get bit from for days. Winding solidly into a close-to-home yellowtail that just ate another surface iron next to you and your best skiff-fishing buddy. There's no need for words. The water droplets on your sunglasses-and the smiles- say it all. No matter how it goes down, there is nothing like that feeling of getting bit. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of ways to get bit,and this book is about some of them, from local to long range. To follow are over 40 individual pieces on how to get bit on everything from calico bass to cow tuna. The goal to writing this book was to help new fisherman become good fisherman, and to make good fisherman great anglers. Hopefully, even the greatest of anglers will even pick something up along the way, or think about fishing in a different light. Getting bit is all about adapting to the conditions at hand, based on what's going on right then and there. This book is about some of the ways Southern California anglers get bit, from local to long range.
