We decided to hit up our favorite spot that we haven't been able to fish in forever because of the salad. Got there at O'Dark Thirty to one of the lowest tides I've ever seen there, -1.5'. Really gave a completely different picture of the structure. Best part... no f@cking weeds ;D
So we get 6 serious chunks of bait ready and yak them out.
I was so stoked to actually be able to get a shore cast line out, it's been forever. Surf wasn't bad, 2'-4', the 8oz sputnik had no problem holding. Threw out tied on 'dines, and there were actually signs of life!!! Some swings and misses, then something sticks and after a fierce battle that seemed like forever I landed a monster Long Arm Taco Shark ;D
Of course after the tide swung, the kelp monsters started showing >:(
So I ditched the hand cast gear, and we concentrated on the big stuff. About 11:00am it's time to clean the lines and reset baits so we get the yak out and naturally the lifeguard boat comes by and cuts all of our long lines >:(
So with the tide really coming in bringing more kelp monsters with it, we decided to call it. Oh well, it was great to at least be able to fish our favorite spot again 8)
