Had a limited amount of time to fish as I planned on working on my boat motor all day. I'll get into the details later, but there wasn't many of them except for a bunch of Euro-Mankinis that came down for a swim that caused me to exit the beach early.
Short story was it was weedy, but fishable. Got a 13" bass and lost a bunch of other bait stealers. I got one real shark bite that I pretty much choked a gull on the hook swing which made me lose the shark. I have pics of the bait which looked to be a leopard, but I could never get him back to commit to my bait.
Hammers are spotted on 4 beaches now from LJ to CB... Basically all over. Hopefully you are in the right place at the right time.
If you get one, I'll try and get a sponsor to donate something as this would be a bucket list catch for sure!
What size roughly would the hammers be? Could the general set ups we use for soupfin and seven real in a hammer head?
The La Jolla one was supposedly 8- 10 feet.

8-10ft seems to be the general average estimate from all the yak anglers. Those guys are seeing them regularly and they're reporting that they linger around for a while once they show up. I think paddling out a bait might be the ticket.
Where's Eric with his winch? This is the year he's been preparing for!
The evening repeat was weed city. Fed the sea monsters a little something too.

That was no joke. I would not have gone down if it was even half that weedy in the morning session.

:o :o :o :o
Here you guys are trying to target them and I'm trying to lose em LOL. The blood coming thru the scuppers don't help. It's like smelling your neighbor ( or Tom ) grillin up some summer bbq. ;D
I can vouch for 8-10ft. Little guys compared to mama chewing up the tuna offshore. I'm sure they'd still give me a helluva sleigh ride.
Would love to see one of you put a hammer on the sand
This would be the year to do it.

One might need to use some Yellowfin or Skipjack for bait.
