January Grom of the Month – Recap
Finally got the first Grom of the Month for 2019 out. We had to reschedule because of weather once and was able to get out between storms and the conditions were beautiful. The fish seemed to be in and off bite because of the weather, but we were still able to make a solid day out of it. Congrats Jack Hebdon for being chosen HUB grom of the month January. This kid slays. Jack also brought along his little bro, Lee and dad, Michael. It was a great pleasure fishing with all 3 of you. Jack was stoked on his PB sand bass, spotted bay bass, and rockfish today as well as the bag of swag from grom of the month sponsors Fishworks Clothing, Angler Clothing Company, Hoven Sunglasses, and Fishgroms.

Grom of the Month – February Winner!
Congrats to Mike, Justin, and Grant for being the February Groms of the Month! We're excited to take the three boys out on their first adventure with Hookup Baits! Let's go fishin'!! Now the Groms that were not chosen, your name stays in the bucket and if you post again this month you will be added to the bucket again. This means you will now have your name in the bucket 2 times and so on every month you don't get picked. We were so stoked to see so many more Groms in the bucket for this month. We love seeing all boys and girls out there fishing. Keep it up and good luck to all the Groms for the next month!!! Grom Sponsors

Fishing is a Lifetime Sport
Had 2 fantastic guys out fishing with me today. My bro Ben Secrest and the most awesome 73 year old I have ever had the privilege of fishing with, George. Tons of laughs and decent fishing. 1.5 and 3 oz Hookup Baits caught 'em all. All fish were safely released as always. Check out the original facebook post here and share from our page!
First Saltwater Bass Series Event of the Season
Fished the first Saltwater Bass Series event for this season on Saturday. SD Bay spotties only. We caught 3 limits of keeper bass, but just didn't get the right ones in the boat and took 8th out of 35 teams. Congrats to the HUB Rookie team of Frank and Richard for their 3rd place finish! Also want to thank all the HUB supporters that are now fishing the series. So cool to see ya'll out there. Thanks Gerry and crew for the awesome tournament series.

Red Crab Baits Are Killin’ It!
You're going to want to make sure that you have the Red Crab Hookup Baits in various sizes as a part of your arsenal. The red crab or pelagic tuna crabs are already starting to show and everything eats them! The Red Crab HUB is extremely effective when the fish are feeding on the live crabs. Just like what happened last spring with the white Seabass, the Red Crab HUB was the best chance at getting bit. This made the Red Crab HUB a very popular choice for anglers targeting WSB. If you want big Sheephead, there were 3 Sheepheads over 20 lbs that we know of caught on the red crab HUB just last year and many in the double digits. Not to mention the bass, rockfish and yellowtail love them too! We made the Red Crab HUB the exact color tones as the real thing and the natural [...]
