Pass Cavallo Jack
Earlier, around the last of
August, my in-laws, wife and I spent a weekend anchored at Pass Cavallo. Had
been fishing the pass all weekend and found no fish. Sunday morning around
8:30 I saw a commotion heading in as big fish were chasing bait, really
churning the water to a froth. Picked up the first rod I found with a spoon on
it and made a cast out in front of the action. Had an immediate pickup and
then the battle was on. 25 minutes later I put this Jack on the beach. I was
fishing a Texas Popping Special (from Academy) with a Shimano Mini-mag and 14
pound Spiderwire and a Johnson Sprite. I really don't know the weight,
but I'm guessing 20-25 or so.
