Christmas Eve cookup.

Well we had our traditional Christmas Eve cookup yesterday. We had about 30 people here for a fish BBQ. My son went up to Dundee beach last month and came back with some tropical species.

Re: Worden's maxi jig

That egg loop knot looks very interesting for other soft baits as well. I wonder how it would go anchoring live sandworms without piercing them with a hook, or with weed for luderick.
