Just curious Eric...why the bare hooks instead on the shrimp fly tipped with squid?

I have never caught any fish off the rocks so really have no clue, but was just wondering...I would've though the color on the shrimp flies would help to attract them in?? Or maybe not!  :P

Bait on top of the flies gets a little bulky inshore, but it would work.  I play more of a chum game - visual attraction isn't really part of it.  If viz iz available then color's definitely good.

When heading out to fish off the jetty, dont forget a long handled net! I have lost more than a few by not taking one.

A cheap/beater net. :)
