👀 The rumors are true…

With El Niño warming up our local waters, things are getting interesting. We’re hearing reports of stripers everywhere… from Castaic and Pyramid to lake balboa and now they’re even showing up at Bob Sands. 🤯🐟

Meanwhile, yellowtail are biting, bluefin are hanging around, and dorado are starting to make an appearance. If there was ever a time to get out on the water, it’s now. 🎣🔥

Watch closely… you might even catch a striper swimming through the shop. 😂

Have u seen the stripper swimming at BobSands? 🫣

Hot take: Does Ike Jime actually make a noticeable difference, or is a good bleed and plenty of ice all you really need?
