Sent the texts out Thursday and Friday to get a sesh in during this weekends grunion run. Greg and Mike got the green light.
Guess Mike knew his only shot at a fish was to go solo Friday ;)
Welp he had the spot to himself uber fresh perch. Incoming tide 8pm

Got to the spot Sat 7/6 right at 740. Meet Greg as we see Mike walking down.
Made bait without a problem, always stoked to have what I'm most confident using.
Sent out a perch head still breathing/twitching and leaking shark candy, into the twilight and rough 3-5' surf.
Surf was pumping and the uphill current had me questioning if my 6oz Sputnik would hold. It did it's job and about 20mins in, maybe 5mins after Greg and I finished smoking an offering to the fish God's, my bait got smacked and started ripping line off the bait runner.
I was right next to it, so I gave it a second, engaged the reel, and sent the hook home! Yep that's her boys. She went on a serious 1st run and I had to check my drag to make sure it wasn't too loose lol . She was p!$sed and using the current to her advantage. After a few minutes of back and forth she was getting closer to the big breakers and getting pushed inside but the beach has slope to it with the sand dredged up in the spring. So tailing her was no easy task as every outward surge kept her in the white wash , it was hectic but after several tries Mike and Greg tag teamed her and she was on the hard pack. Finally B)

Unfortunately the first cast curse was in full effect. Mike had to bail Lil after 1030 to pick his twins up, Greg and I stuck it out til almost 11 for nada :'( well that's shark fishing, I guess, one is better than none :)
Rastafar-gone B)<==*~~
Well, damn. I need to get the new 2024 Shark list up there.
I apologize for the delay, but I'm in the middle of switching the website over and having trouble getting the code for the forum which is taking up a bunch of time.
Bravo boss! Keeping the surf sharking alive around here!
Nice First Cast Curse, them sharks are a whole different ball game, glad you made it happen !!
Can't tell you how stoked I am for you, Chu da Man 💪🏼
