Solo Sesh 1/25

[SevengillTheVC]

So since I went solo tonight I bought an appropriate camera, man I can't imagine someone to put down a free fishing trip. Well that's my buddy. Arrived to great conditions,  minus the outgoing tide.

Tossed a squid head out on the light rod in hopes for the now non-existant surf tractor, didn't take long for one to respond. About 36" hard to tell with the slack tape.


Then I had the slow pull on the long. Set the hook, no fight again, until the skinny, with the rolls and the thrashes, again with a heatbreak. It wasn't big, but a 7 none the less. Well around 7:15pm I get my shot again, make sure to lay the hook again, and again, and again. Not a biggie, but a grinner, solo, none the less. My 15' rod, girls going surf fishing!

She was hit by bigger models on the way in, pictures don't show but that was not the leader.

Shark Hunter's old stompin ground put out, beats a skunk I expected .

You sure do have a good spot going on.

Wow, that is crazy that that one shark got hit by a bigger model.  As Steve says, you have yourself a killer spot.  Sharkhunter would be proud.

What reel is that? A Spinfisher V?

Yeah it's Spinfisher V 9500, my cheapy replacement for my LX that was drug into the surf early last summer. Not a fan of big game spinners, but this one has put many 7s on the beach, and many big bats. Built like a tank it is.

Live Liner? I just bought the 6500LL for bats and stuff, just waiting on a rod for it. They are built like tanks! I have the 6500LL and a 3500 that caught many tuna up to 35#.

No live liner. By the way do you like how much water seems to get inside even though they say it's watertight? It's never much but every time I see some I go "oh Penn." Also sports chalet has some cheap 60$ 15 ft Diawa Rods which mine has done great service. After the first eyelet bent I hacked off the rest of them and wrapped some Fuji's around it, now it is great.

That is the biggest knock on that reel, it's purported water tightness. Not water proof. Minimal water intrusion at best. Impossible to do, but I try to limit water contact. A great reel for the low price point though.

Interesting cuts on that shark.  Doesn't look like any attacks I've seen before.
