Day fishing on Saturday; they were able to pick up Cured Sardines and Frozen Squid from San Pedro Bait Co - to continue the Sand Bass fishing. The bite was slow all day, but the quality of fish was there. The Captain Gabriel Cabellos and the crew reports that Leadheads with a Green & Glow Colored plastic tipped with squid, was the hot ticket to get bit.
