| SDFish.com hosts a monthly treasure
hunt featuring a fishing related prize which will be hidden at the end
of each month. On the 5th of each month we will
announce the details of the treasure hunt for that particular month,
outlining the "treasure" and introducing the first clue you'll need to
uncover its hidden location. Only one treasure item or package will be
hidden each month, so the first person to find the item will be the
lucky winner.
The location of the treasure will change each month, and clues will
be provided on SDFish.com on this page at random intervals throughout
the month leading up to the
"burying of the treasure." Each clue will only be published for 72
hours at a time, so it is essential that you check this page often to
make
sure you are obtaining all the necessary clues. The treasure will
always be located within San Diego County in an area that is accessible
by car and a short non-strenuous walk so that we can include the
majority of our members and readers in the hunt.
The date that each hunt will conclude will be announced in the
details for each month's individual hunt. Treasure hunts will most
often conclude on the last Saturday or Sunday of the month, but that
will vary throughout the year so that once again, all of our members
and readers will have a chance to participate and find the prize
first.
Depending on the size and value of the prize a card representing the
item may be hidden rather than the actual item, those cards can be
redeemed with me in exchange for the item in the days following the
treasure hunt. Again, each month's hunt will be independent as prizes,
locations, and the details and requirements will change. All pertinent details will be announced on the 5th of the month. Happy hunting, SDFish.com anglers!

 Finally a baby bass lure that looks
and
swims just like a real baby bass. These are arguably the most realistic
baby bass lures ever created. The paint jobs are taxidermy quality and
require a lot more labor then ordinary lures. Each bait is hand painted
with as many as 23 layers of premium grade paints and finished off with a
premium clear coat. They come in 3 different sink rates. Floating, slow
sinking, and fast sinking. Each bait comes stock with stainless steel
extra
heavy
#5 split rings and Owner ST-41 1/0 treble hooks. Each bait comes with
an extra tail.

In total, seven clues were posted throughout the month beginning on January 5th and concluding on January 30th. Those clues each allowed readers to narrow down the hidden treasure's location. SDFish.com member socal450r was the winner, being the first to discover the hidden treasure.
