Longcast Joe and I hit up one of the  7 spots last night to take advantage of the small surf.

I arrived at the AO at about 6pm hoping that I might get some twilight action with all the heavy overcast.
Alas it ended up not to be.  Joe rolls up around 7pm and I haven't had so much as a bump other than crabs which were really bad tonight. (I actually had a big Bonito tail completely stripped to nothing but skin and back bone during a 20 min soak.)

Joe starts setting up and shortly after, my far rod starts a slow clicker run. I ran over and get the fish on the line. At first it felt like the right kind, but somehow the fishgods turned it into a 30inch Bat when it hit the sand. (*shakes fist at the fishgods*)

Shortly after as the tide got lower, some grass and mini kelp made an appearance. With barely any surf or current, it wasnt really an issue with it collecting. It was more a pain to find clean sand for the sputnick to grip.  It sometimes took 2-3 casts to get the sputnick to hit clean sand instead weed.

In the End, Joe had a few takes that never truly connected and I ended up with 2 7's and missed a buzzer beater that dropped the bait as I reel down on him.

81" male, falling tide, Bonito chunk.
90" male, low slack tide, Bonito Head.

The only crappy part is driving to get there. 2 hour round trip, more if traffic is bad. well that and only being able to fish to 10:30 without risking a ticket.

Well done guys! Nice to see the streak continuing! Congrats on the catches for sure.
Every trip for me is 30 to 45 miles, but It's worth the journey. Glad you guys are making the runs for great surf sharking. Big props!
You can't catch them from your computer chair.
