Holiday Pay

[LONGCAST JOE]

Hard to complain if your getting paid for the day off and on the sand instead of at work.. First time in recent memory that Ive fished with the sun still high in the sky. It was kind of strange to actually see my cast, haha...Got a 50" Leo on a small mack head pulley rigged. It was one of those fun Leo's takes that looks like they grabbed your bait on the fly while swimming at full speed past it. Knew it was too fast to be a bat run...Fun fight, high speed zig zaggin roostertails up in the trough and skinny...and my first SNGF of the year, 49 incher, ....and probably the last one of the year that Ill bother taping & posting a pic of....wasnt going to be much beach left after sunset with the 6+' high rolling in so packed it up in time to go see some fireworks with the GF by dark...Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention water was virtually salad free, what a difference a week can make...

Right on Joe!  The beach looks pretty empty, or is that they are cropped out of the pic?

I don't even remember my last shovelnose.  They are a lot of fun considering but I just wish we had those 7 and 8 foot three fin ones out here to make it better!

Those are two really sweet catches!

Nice Joe! Glad you found some fishable water.  Hope the salad is gone for awhile!

No, the beach was a complete circus, cropped it out...but I did find that if you show some pictures to mothers on the beach of 8 ft Sevengills with their jaws open and say " I catch these here all the time", it tends to clear out all the kids swimming around you out of the water rather quickly,LOL, so great.....true story

Nice report Joe.
We went out the other night and got picked by the bait stealers.
Sharkinthedark managed a Ray but it broke off at the sand.
Still waiting to get my first fish on new setup.
