1715-1940

Covered a good chunk of ground. About 2.25 miles of walking by the looks of it.

Stray kelp and grass on the inside, too much for trebles but not a day ruiner on the c-rig.

Lasered a 1oz slider straight into a 10-15mph wind the whole time, [small] washing machine conditions.

Pumpkinseed grub got bit best, consistently but short.

Some micro bait popping here and there, but the chasers didn't take to the pearl perch grub (if there were any chasers at all).

2 long distance releases (in the wash) and then one to hand on the last cast. I'm enjoying this poich pic much more than most.

I've had a waterproof case for my phone that has a camera lens cover that's been dulling all my pictures by just a bit for the last couple years. I went mad and drilled out the lens cover from the case this past weekend and I'm so glad I did, mad I didn't sooner.

Here's another pic that's not dull!

Ah how the other half lives.

I also tried a 40 minute striper session yesterday as well which was unremarkable. On a little kick right now.

Anything is better than a skunk, even a little poich.  ;D

It's funny, I've been throwing hard baits the last few times out in the surf for very little and would have been much more successful if I started with the C-Rig.  I too was hoping for some more Stripers from the beach.  I have 2 off the beach in TP, but that was like 20 years ago.

Well done boss and thanks for the report.  They are hard to find here these days.

The Mid Westerners are still out in force.  Their spuds must not go back to school until after Labor Day.
