So with the leg feeling much better, but the hole still healing, I decided to waterproof bandage it and see what the surf looked like after all this high surf activity. First spot was in Carpinteria and was a total bust, just lots of debris and kelp. Then we moved to our sevengill spot but didn't wade out much and was not really putting in the time for them. Very slow, with just one spiny molecrab to show for it. Cast out some squid on my light rod while we're packing up and just ghost set it before I reeled it in and was greeted by a small thornback. Better than a skunk. Look forward to going after the general quarry after this weather and surf dies a bit. Looks like you all down there are getting some decent bat action!
At least you were able to get back out there. Glad your leg is healing up.
It's nice seeing you at again man, hopefully run into you on the sand
Glad your leg is doing well.
On the other hand, some of us count thornbacks as negative one. That makes them technically worse than a skunk.
Lol anything that is not kelp or spiny molecrab is a non-skunk in my book. Even though it may feel like kelp, it is in fact a thornback, a fish, technically no skunk :D!
Sounds like a bunch of my posts! Time on the sand...
