Not sure if they can be caught or not this time around, but if they can, pin one or two on and heave it out on the long rod and see if you can get a grinner.

Hopefully you can hook up with someone to get out. I'm usually booked when the weekends roll around.

Are you long rod fishing for sharks, or plan on fishing smaller gear for the other surf critters? If you have the long rod and big baits, I would wait until dark and fish "near" the jetty. It's fairly shallow, but drops off and I've gotten BSB there before. Look for filling holes along the beach and just south of Crystal pier are all spots there I would try. Definitely use some meat if you are going for shark.

Long rods help out tremendously to keep the surf and weeds off the line. It's definitely worth it and you can always upgrade when the time us right.

Definitely invest in surf sputnik sinkers. They are the most important gear for long rod sharking. I'll send you the link later but the Klammer sinkers on eBay can't be beat for performance and price.

Squidco doesn't sell sputniks. Here's where almost all of us go to get our sputniks:

Klammer 42 is top notch. He doesn't waste a second after the order!

According to the DFG the next run is July 2-5

Gotta get the rig ready and dialed in.
