Lunch break Fishing Carpinteria 20190816

[xjchad]

First time on the sand in awhile.
Went down to the beach on my lunch break
Gear: Daiwa 7250RLA on a 5' UL Ugly Stik
Rig: Carolina rig, 5/8 oz. egg sinker, #8 octopus hook
Bait: Sand crabs

The first 30 minutes was clearing chopped salad from my line.
Finally found some clean water and had a good hit.
Little keychain leopard shark went for a couple nice runs and put up a fun fight on the light gear.





Next cast I got a nibble and then a few seconds later a good tug.  Set the hook on this little surf perch.



Definitely a good way to end the work week!

Nice way to spend lunch.

Was wondering if you still fished! Cool light rod sesh.

LOL, not too often.  Not a high priority right now.
Nice to get out once in awhile though.

I absolutely love seeing your restored old school reels getting used and catching fish!  Nice Chad!

Surf Sharking coming soon as all the people start going home after the summer!
