change-up Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 Hey dme1111, I have never fished the mirrodine lure, how do work the retrieve?
dme1111 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 we were catching them yesterday with a slow approach. Reel, twitch it a couple of times, let it sit for 5-10 seconds then repeat. Some times they bite it with a reel, twitch, reel, twitch without letting it sit My brother went out to the LA jetties again today and caught 25 fish up to 23".
change-up Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 thanks for the info, might give it a try this weekend.
dme1111 Posted June 19, 2009 Report Posted June 19, 2009 It may be worth it IF you don't get seasick :-[
PNG Proud Posted June 19, 2009 Author Report Posted June 19, 2009 I went out this afternoon, and there was some serious swind blowing right down the channel. Fished Lighthouse Cove, but water was muddy. I didn't dare run to the jetties in that chop.
dme1111 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 my brother went out again last evening and limited out again. It is rough but when you get on the LA side of the jetties its not that bad. We have a 21' boat and do fine. Another note is that the guys fishing with live shrimp were absolutely catching fish every cast...
tvc184 Posted June 20, 2009 Report Posted June 20, 2009 That's my bait of choice for sure. A friend at work is a guide on the weekends and has been knocking them dead on Flounder Pounder CT Shad. I think he has been using glow and glow with chartreuse tails.
dme1111 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 this morning I went out and didn't catch but 5 good trout. I thinkt the tide needs to be moving out... it was moving in this morning
westend1 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 Saturday evening, a couple of friends of mine killed them at the jetties. They used live shrimp, mostly, but caught a few on traps. I saw the pics and they had some really big specks in the cooler.
dme1111 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Posted June 22, 2009 went out to the jetties again tonight, I think the secret is the tide moving out. We caught 50-70 speck up to 25"
change-up Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 are the jetties still hot or have they slowed down?
westend1 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 Jetties are still going strong. 6:30 pm is the time to be there.
PNG Proud Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Posted June 25, 2009 Jetties are still going strong. 6:30 pm is the time to be there. Actually, My wife and I went to the jetties this morn (Thu) and left at 1pm. We caught 2 really nice reds, 2 spanish,1 triple tail (a bit too small), 2 drum and kept 19 sizeable trout. I didn't want to stay out in that heat any longer for 1 more trout. Had a box FULL of fish. All on shrimp. The artificial guys just weren't catching, that I can tell. I think Sat. I'll be going offshore. It's time to go diving!
westend1 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 I don't really use live bait, but at about 7:00, you start getting some topwater action.
tvc184 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 I don't really use live bait, but at about 7:00, you start getting some topwater action. Great flyfishing time.
dme1111 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 Chartreuse mirrodine mirrolures... We have been KILLING THEM at the jetties daily on this bait...
PNG Proud Posted June 25, 2009 Author Report Posted June 25, 2009 I've never seen a Mirrordine lure. Is it like a Mirrorlure?
dme1111 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 it is made by mirrolure. It is a lipless shallow running suspended bait. I was told last month about them by a local guide and we tried them and have been using them since.
tvc184 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Posted June 25, 2009 The first specks that I ever caught about 35 years ago was on a Mirrolure. I have been using various colors ever since.
change-up Posted June 26, 2009 Report Posted June 26, 2009 fished the La. jetties this evening with not much luck. Caught 3 keeper trout, fished mirrodine, glo-chart. assasins, and live shrimp.
PNG Proud Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Posted June 26, 2009 That's not very encouraging...I was going to go tommorrow.
dme1111 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Posted June 27, 2009 my bro went last night and said the water was murky, need an outgoing tide.
PNG Proud Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Posted June 27, 2009 I went this afternoon (Sat). Water was ugly, wind was howling, waves were crashing...really tuff fishing. Only caught 28 trout........ Not really. I only caught about 6 and kept 3. Had ya going though, huh?
