The Treasure

Castaic Rock Hard 10" Fast Sinking Swimbait autographed by legendary trophy bass hunter Mike Long

The Castaic Rock Hard Swimbait is one of the most realistic looking and swimming hard swimbaits on the market today. This fast sinking model can be fished effectively in all water columns at a wide variety of retrieve speeds, making it a versatile option to target those big San Diego largemouth bass. 

MSRP (un-autographed): $49.99 (CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO OR TO PURCHASE)

Whether you're a collector or a dedicated trophy bass angler, January's hidden treasure will be a great addition to your arsenal or collection. 

Treasure Hunt Details

Due to the size of this bait, a card will be placed at a hidden location within San Diego County on January 30th, 2010 immediately following the last and final clue to its location. The first lucky SDFish.com member or reader to find the card can redeem it with me in exchange for the Mike Long autographed Castaic Rock Hard Swimbait. Details on how to contact me to redeem your prize will be on the card. 

The card will not be hidden until the last day of the hunt, so there will be no benefit to guessing its location or searching for it prior to the last clue being published. If you have kept track of all the clues, the last clue should be a relative "slam dunk" to the item's exact location.

Please DO NOT contact me, or any of the site's moderators (they will not know anyways) asking questions about where the item will be hidden, I will not respond to such questions. No additional hints will be given other than the ones published on the Treasure Hunt page of SDFish.com. 

Clues will be published at random intervals leading up to the final day of the treasure hunt, with the last one being published on January 30th, 2010. Each clue will only remain published for three days at a time, so it would be wise to document the clues so you can recall them later. You are welcome to discuss the clues on our message boards with other members.

Good luck, and happy hunting!
