Heh, looks like your tackles did a reverse role. :lol: Don't feel too bad, the catch might just get better on your next trip. I think the crabs are not interested to go into the crab trap anymore when they see the puffers are already in there.

It depends what you're targeting for. I was there a week ago looking around and I see people fishing for rabbitfish. The water was pretty clear during high tide and I can actually see the rabbitfishes swimming near the breakwaters at the viewing deck though the size isn't very big. If you want to catch those, you can use a floating rig with bread or small shrimps as baits.

That's quite impressive and you've got a parrotfish from there. :shocked: That place looks really good on high tide, I was there the previous week and saw quite a few rods parked along that section of the shoreline.

This is the place you're talking about right?
