Got up early and hit beach 1. First cast and landed a nice bonito on the 11' carp rod and 10ib leader. Jacob caught a mack on the croc next and Kate followed up with a double on bonito and mack on my home tied double fly / metal combo with the 13' carp rod.

She wants another shark bad. Header out and set up camp.

Took only 12 minutes before I get a pull on the senator.

I happen to look down the beach and see the jig master Sabre combo bend over hard enough to bend the sand spike and get near horizontal. I yelled over to Jacob and he got to it just as it was half way out of the spike. As I'm reeling in to go help with the tailing I hook up and after a few runs land a near 3' SmoothHound. Quick release and land jmans Leo.

His first shark in probably 5 years.
It's all about the fresh bait. The extra effort usually pays off exponentially. Nice kitties.

I just always get jealous of the empty beaches you guys have up north. ;)
Nice session. I miss the sand but intel is seaweed city right now.

Not jealous of the empty beach, but fresh bait from the sand is just awesome.
Nice leppos too.
No seaweed up here , for our session at least. Everyone was south at hb for the airshow. North beaches were pretty empty.
Is that really a beach?
That's so much better than my last few sessions.
I'm super jealous if the bait of the beach!
Nice indeed, you're making me consider a road trip ;D
