Wish I had some reefier beaches closer to home, not super inspiring prospects for things like that or 7s. Good luck if you go!

     




      

Fun surf  session, It's been a while for me   Them perch can be fun when you get into them.

Congrats on the legal Halibut, it makes up for other not so productive days

Keep up the good work !

The birds at the beach were cheaper

Turkey Sandwiches are always a good Scooby Snack while fishing, good score on that deal  

 My Buddy picked up a 20' Boston Whaler a few months back and named it Fear Factor   He is also part of The Mad Anglers and they were doing a Sheephead trip to the local Kelp Beds so we met up with them, they were doing pretty good so far
 
 

We couldn't get bit so we ventured out to deeper waters.....instant hook ups 




I landed a nice 16" Calico but forgot to get a pic in all the excitement

Great conditions (except for the stained water) and we threw many fish back due to Regulations, no worries as we had a great day and we all came home with fish

Next trip will be The Cyclops' turn to stock the freezer, maybe I can convince Cheez to leave Arizona for a few days

Just saw video of a local prickly shark from last night! Might need to go down at some point this week. Not sure if my gear will handle a beast like that (or my shoulder) but it's worth a shot!

Wanted a repeat of yesterday.

More abridged trip. 1445 to 1645. Tide level was technically the same but a little bigger break on the outside seemed to present totally differently. Still nice weather. A little more kelp and grass.

Got the skunk off quick but not as many bites.



Picked off one more but otherwise struggled.

The gulls kept pushing into my air space and I pretty much shot my rig between this one's feet mid-flight. Oopsy. A couple loops of braid around its foot, no biggy.



30 minutes later another one! Some college kids were filming me untangle it from afar, we'll see the spin on that in the morning I suppose.



I could have slowed the line coming off the spool to get the line below the birds, but I admit, I was feeling particularly entitled to my air space this afternoon. They both flew off without any line on them and unscathed.

On my way home I stopped at Amazon Fresh for the week's groceries and scored 2 16lb turkeys at $7 each! More birds!

Oh, I will.  lol

Congrats on the legal, Jeremy!  Bravo on a great surf session.

My plan was to get down this morning, but my shoulder kept me up most of the night. I know they say it's the neck, but my shoulder is killing me. 

That perch looks like a leopard to me, but who knows.  That thing looks freaked as it was getting it at both ends.  LOL

I hope you catch again today!  I might try the puddles due to convenience.

Put out a trail cam for some fun reaction videos...
