Most likely it was a Sargo.

Thanks for the report. Good to see cuda around. They've been scarce for a while now. Mike

Were these legal 28" Cuda?
There are a lot of small Cuda all over the coast but the only legals I've seen are coming from Catalina...!
This is great news if there are finally some legal size ones in the mix on the coast.

4 keeper sized cuddas the rest were around 24" I got so many I lost count I was wondering if they were eating the red crab though? I couldn't find any other bait so I was thinking they must be....After hooking up on the red crab last time I'm thinking I might 3D print a couple red crabs and make a jig to throw at bird piles or just throw a sinker on and let drift. let me know if anyone would want one

Here is something I found that I will try and drop shot with to imitate the red crabs.



Sargo is delicious!
