End of the Year Catch!
It's awesome to see HUBs out and about for special end-of-the-year trips for our customers! Took my last trip of the year to Ensenada for a little shallow water reds. Weather was great and the fish were hungry. What a great way to end the year. Red crab big game are the best. Happy holidays to all at Hookupbaits! - Rich

Santa Cruz Skiff
Thanks for the review, Ferdinand. Glad the HUBs killed it for y'all. I just wanted to share our catch and adventure today. Albert and I brought our friend Ed and went to Santa Cruz and rented a skiff. No electronics at all and depended on Google Maps to find some structure. This was the first time for all 3 of us taking this trip. We introduced to Ed the HUB and he caught the biggest vermillion at 6.25 pounds! Purple, pink and mint were the hot colors today.
