WOW!!! I am surprised that you got skunked that bad. I have a feeling it was one of several things either singly or in combination: tackle/setup/bait/location. Also, throwing your lead the country mile is not always the best bet. You say that you couldn't fish the jetty because of the surfers? There are perch on both sides of the jetty. Pretty soon the redtails should be congregating in Half Moon Bay so it could be worth fishing the rocks in front of the blue observation tower in town(just across the bay from the south jetty). Hope you have better luck next time. I think you might have saved yourself a little bit of time if you had just drove out to the ocean shores area instead and pounded the beach there. Seems like a bit of a long drive to Canby.
