Chris Hazen and his buddies fished off the beach with PowerBait this morning and hooked a total of 14 trout.

Dick Gold and his friend Denny Welch caught & released 50 bass on the east side today using tubes that were green/sparkle with a chartreuse tail.  Denny just started selling these online at Believe Baits and they were trying them out, sounds like a success story!
