Well, with everyone going on Tommy's 2.5 day tuna charter and me being stuck as a land lubber, I decided to hit the surf for a short session.
I armed myself with 2 blue perch, 1 yfc, and 3 mackerel and ran up to the beach.
Tide was less than ideal, but the conditions were great. No salad... small surf....no rip current to speak of.
I constantly switched up baits to see if it was a really a bait thing or just mere chance. Bait went out...
First bait on the list was YFC. The bait stealers were out there thick tonight!
Not a single bait was even coming back on the hook and the slow bites ranged from lobster to baby bass.
I finally put on a big chunk of Blue Perch and went to take a piss as I had little to no faith in it. The minute d!ck in hand... a screamer!
I get two steps away and it drops it..... GRRRRrrrrr.
Mackerel were not getting the right hits, but I was getting more finfish action on the Blue Perch followed by the YFC. I put a really big Blue Perch head on and finally got a big bouncer to stick. a 3# Calico was a welcomed sight.

A few baits later, I get another big bouncer and screamer!!! I was only 20 feet away from the rod and got one step away from grabbing it before it dropped it! ARGHHHHH!!!
A little while later, I get a bounce in the rod and it loads up, but doesn't scream out. This time I get the hook in her.

I only had mackerel left at this point and finally snagged a couple of what was stealing my baits...

Last bait of the night and I get another nice bounce in the rod. I missed the SOB, but it was an action packed 3 hour session for the most part. I wished I would have seen what those screamers were, but it was a fun relaxing evening and good to see some bigger bites starting to happen.
Has anyone else been getting out?
Way to give it a solo shot Tom.
As you know it's time on water.
Your next one is on its way 8)
"I finally put on a big chunk of Blue Perch and went to take a piss as I had little to no faith in it. The minute d!ck in hand... a screamer!"
That would be my luck
I usually piss next to my rod then just kick some sand over it.
If I get a screamer while pissing I'll just get on it. This would likely leave piss dribbling down my leg but I won't tell anyone ;D
There is no better bite trigger than trying to pee.
