[cool]The "Care Package" goes in the mail today...so you should have some new trinkets for Saturday.
On the Catalina calicos, just fish them like largemouths. They will hit all the same plastics and jigs as largies. However, big plastic swimbaits are the preferred lures if you don't have live bait...or fresh dead squid. They will hit any light colors...from tans to whites to two tones with some blue or red in them. They also hit some of the bass tubes, like motor oil, purple, etc.
Around the piers you will likely find several species willing to play. Take a range of lures and pick up some squid to tip your jigs. I used to love to play with the Catalina blue perch on light tackle. They can get in there by the thousands, if the calicos don't show.
Sturgeon Kid just got back from a shorebound trip to the island and did very well on standard bass tackle...taking some big calicos up to about 8 pounds. You might try PMing him for some tips.
