Killer Surf Report 5/9/21

[sasquatch]

 Got out this morning. Didn't have any Mother's Day plans, so why not?

You would think by the time the kids are 21-31 years old they would figure something out among themselves.

Didn't happen. Guess it will be breakfast shots and huevos rancheros at the Pub. Works for me.

Anyway, on to the hot and heavy action of this morning's light tackle surf extravaganza.

Hit the beach around 645 after a coffee stop at 711.

Onshore wind and smallish surf and a rising tide. Saw a couple likely holes from the road.

No crabs to be seen, but I found an area of bird pecks and tracks so I dug around for some small crabs.

I mean small.



That's a #4 mosquito hook.

Got tired of spending 5 minutes to find enough crabs to put on the hook so I switched it up to the gulp worm.



For my trouble I was rewarded with a half dozen perch.



Got a little chilled since I was wearing shorts, not waders, so I split after 45 minutes.

Good to get out and feel the sand on my feet.

Half a dozen in 45 minutes is a nice morning, way to go.

I didn't realize it was Mother's Day til I woke up this morning, thank god I ordered a gift almost a month ago for once.

Nice Steve! Glad to see a surf report.
I had to work early this morning then come home to be "Jeeves" for Mendy. Getting ready to cook up some tri-tip street tacos now. The margarita machine has been running all afternoon!

Glad you found some perch, it's been a while since I hit the surf
