Church of Salty Feet (8/13)

[Latimeria]

I needed to get to my feet wet and only had a few hours to kill, so hit the surf armed with 6" Yozuri plugs, Tady 45's and 6" MC's with weedless heads.  I was targeting WSB, Bigger Butts, and YT.  It was a longshot I know, but you never know if you don't try.



It was super low tide, but that meant casting to the edge was a little bit easier.  There was some grass and kelp, but not terrible and the water was fairly nice, maybe high 60's.



I worked my way for a LONG way before I hit the reef.  Unfortunately the reef was really shallow and really grassy so the Yozuri wasn't very efficient.  I switched to the weedless swimbait and kept getting snagged on the reef.  One time though as I pulled it out, I felt it pull back!  Yes!

Nothing huge, but I was happy to get a 16" calico.



I worked my way all the way back and only saw a couple of Beans and some round rays.  Talked to a guy fishing who caught a YFC and had a short drag ripper.  Not much going on, but I was satisfied and got back before anyone realized I forgot to pay the Iron Ranger.

Bravo... I've been trying to pull a bigger surf bass for weeks and you casually stroll along a pluck one out!

You got out, you got bit, and you didn't get a ticket.  Life is good my man

Sounds like a really pleasant use of time. Some tuna erupted outside the surf line recently which makes a surf YT sound like a reasonable ask.
