Bobby Izuda from Hawaii lands his first corbina on a grey merkin which he tied for the first time the night before. WTG dude!
Ken Harata with his second fair-caught corbina this season. WTG Ken!

Its been an uncanny late season push by our local corbina this year (is it global warming? LOL) as the fish still seem to want to eat flies. It’s weird, this is the time of year I usually tell anglers not to get discouraged as the fish usually get lock jaw late in the season after gorging on sand crabs for weeks, not the case this year… then again we have bluefin tuna off the east end of Catalina, its nuts. I hope we get one more good tide cycle, the fish are fat and plentiful! Great to see some new faces on the beach, giving this crazy game a try. tight lines – Al Q
