Was able to hit up the suds this morning for a few hours. I wasn't expecting a whole lot as grey light coincided with dead low tide.
Boy was a pleasantly surprised.

I hit the water at 6am and fished til 9am with the low tide of .9 around 6:40.
Conditions were good, A lot morning gloom, in fact the sun never made it out till after I left. Minimal salad and widely spaced 1-1.5 foot surf with lots of flat water in between sets.

No visible signs of activity as I walked up to the water. I'm rigged with my trusty 3/4oz green and silver KM. I make my first cast, and my heart immediately drops as I get slammed just as it hits the water. fearing the "First Cast Curse" I bring in what turns out to be about a 16" surf Cuda.

Thankfully the "FCC" did not materialize as on my next 4 casts I bang both a Mac and an 11" Calico. Over the next 3 hours, I managed to thoroughly get tired of macs while also managing another cuda, more bass and some YFC up to 12"

Total count for the day:
30+ Mac (quit counting at 30)
6 calico bass
5 YFC
2 Cuda

I do love the surf Mac's as the make the day interesting when they are around, these were mostly on the far outside of the cast necessitating reeling them in the whole way.

Thanks for reading.

Crap!  30+ macks!?!?  I couldn't even catch one yesterday!

Well, you got some bait and had a hell of a session.

I hit the surf on Saturday to drizzle and cold south wind... along with zero fish.  Oh well, but I'm stoked someone out there was on them!
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

We had to make a move yesterday to get away from them.  Doesn't take long before they become a pain in the a$$

I kept hoping the next one would be a bone. Such disappointment over and over again as it was just another dam Mac.
