No Skunk Sunday! Finally Hooking Up on the Jetty | Redondo Beach Fishing Adventure

The day starts early — 7:00 AM, chilly air, calm surf, and hopeful energy. The goal? Catch anything. Calico bass, sand bass, croaker, corbina, or whatever’s willing to bite. The tide’s in motion and the bait’s alive. “We’re out here for fun, for fish, and for forearm workouts. Let’s go!” Robert kicks things off running the bubble and feather setup — chasing baitfish and trying to stir up action. Evan works a Rapala lure, fine-tuning retrieve speed and lure size to match the morning bite. Both battle seaweed, shifting tides, and rogue waves that creep right to their boots. ⚙️ The Gear Lineup • Rods: 10-ft Eagle Claw surf rod & 7-ft medium-action setup • Rigs: Bubble and feather, crocodile spoon, dropper loop • Baits: Squid strips, sardines, artificial lures • Conditions: Morning outgoing tide, light wind, overcast skies 💡 Pro Tip: The bubble and feather rig is deadly when baitfish are active. Short pops with pauses mimic injured anchovies and trigger strikes from calico, mackerel, and perch. 🐟 The Switch-Up After some time striking out on artificials, Robert swaps to the Eagle Claw rod with squid and No-Knot rigs, while Evan ties on a crocodile spoon for flash. Then—movement. A few bumps. A tap. Then, finally, a solid bend in the rod. “Here we go, bro! It’s happening! It’s tapping!” Moments later, the drought ends — a thornback ray slides onto the rocks, glistening under the morning light. Cheers break out. Cameras roll. The streak is over. “Ending the drought, baby! That’s what we do in California!” The crew safely unhooks the ray, explains its spiny tail structure, and releases it back into the surf — ending a string of skunked sessions with respect and gratitude. 🌊 Lessons From the Jetty Fishing isn’t just about the catch — it’s about the persistence, the process, and the small victories along the way. Whether it’s seaweed snags or lost lures, every cast teaches patience. “It’s not failure. It’s fieldwork. Every trip gives you something — even if it’s not dinner.” From battling kelp to celebrating a humble thornback ray, this episode captures the humor, frustration, and joy that make fishing more than just a sport — it’s a lifestyle. 💡 Tips for Jetty Fishing Beginners • Always pack extra rigs — rocks love to steal your tackle. • Bring different lure sizes — match the hatch as light changes. • Squid and sardine baits are reliable when artificials fail. • Stay safe — rogue waves hit harder than they look. • Celebrate every catch, big or small — every fish has a story. 🌅 Final Thoughts From laughter to lost lures, this was one for the books. No Skunk Sunday is more than a fishing trip — it’s a reminder that persistence pays off and even a small catch can make your whole week. 🎥 Watch the full IndigeFish: Tribal Tales episode now — and join the movement to fish with gratitude, humor, and heart. 👍 Like, 💬 share your favorite jetty fishing story, and 🔔 subscribe for more adventures celebrating Indigenous culture, water, and the thrill of the chase. #IndigeFish #TribalTales #NoSkunkSunday #JettyFishing #SoCalFishing #RedondoBeachFishing #ThornbackRay #SquidBait #BubbleAndFeather #FishingCommunity #FishingCulture #FishingStories #FishingLife #FishingMindset #EagleClawRod #FishingEducation #FishingAdventure #SurfFishing #CaliforniaFishing
