I probably should have taken the boat out since it was just an epic flat morning, but my back was still jacked from the hooping night and I wanted to get back early.
I met Steve at the beach to a lot of weeds in the dark. We moved over to another beach and found it relatively weed free. Steve said Magic seaweed was calling for only 2-4 or less... Well, we saw a lot of overhead, if not double overheaders coming in! Luckily, we both managed a fish before the beach got too crowded.
I got a bat ray...

And Steve a Guee-tar.

Not much, but we didn't get the skunk and that's alright in my book.
Until next tide...
Even with the heavier than expected surf, we had a little protected zone going for us. Between that and the Klammer Hammers it was totally fishable. Won't be long before we retreat to the bay though.
Definitely better than a skunk! To bad no toothy kinds tho
Nice work! I hit the bay 2 nights ago and the current was insane. Couldn't keep a bait from moving 30+ yards.
Maybe I should hit the surf one of these days....
Maybe try a different rig. Pyramid and a three way swivel. Reel in gear, drag light. Should work better.

Good idea. I had a 3 way with a 4 oz. pyramid....the reel in gear but light drag is something i never though of.
Light drag makes it easier to keep your gear. Make sure you have sn idea how much you can tighten it. Maybe bump up to a 6 oz pyramid.
