Went to Capistrano beach again yesterday late afternoon. Small waves, little salad, water not as warm as it has been. Tide going out. Had the long rods out for an hour or so and caught a Leo and a ray. Next up was a slack line bite and some tail trashing in the surf. Chewed the bait but didn't take. The life guard came by and put up a shark sighting sign and said one was seen a couple hundred yards south of me. Next I see another tail splashing in the surf. This time being followed by another fellow who was fishing about 100 yards south of me. He crossed both my lines before I could reel them in. I went out in the surf and untangled one line and cut the other. He brought to shore a 5 to 6 foot soupfin. I reset my line which got tangled and pulled in the one which I cut and found I had cut off my 100 ft of 60 lb mono topper from the braid. I threw caution to the wind and tied another rig to the braid and threw it out. Got one line caught in some kelp so I was reeling it in when the other pole started peeling off line. Switched poles quickly and tightened my drag. Got to watch it leap out of the water twice before it broke loose. Of course it bit the pole with straight braid.
Going to keep trying. At least they are out there again.

It always happens that way! 

Great report and not a bad session considering.  It must have been pretty sweet to see it launch a few times though!
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Sometimes it just works out that way.  You did the right thing by the other guy and he landed his fish. You will get your reward. Especially now that you will take the time to retie.

That's the way it goes sometimes but half the fun is just being out there!

Take head to the signs. The boys put another 10fter on the beach last week.
Keep it tight
