Set out this morning to do some light tackle surf fishing.
Jumped in the truck with spotfin in mind. No destination planned, just went where my truck took me.
Got to the beach at first light, grabbed some crabs and started walking and looking. Found a few likely spots and threw crabs at them for no love.
Finally I settled on one little hole that looked promising. Got a couple taps, the rod loaded up but nobody was home when I reeled in. Still it was a good sign and I stuck it out.
Not long after I scored a small, real small, corbina. Cool, the hole is holding fish and getting better as the tide comes in.
I kept scanning the skinny water as I fished and spotted three backs out of the water. Cast to where I thought they might go and got lucky. Decent 16 inch corbina.
Spent the next couple hours at that hole until the grass ran me off.
By that time I had 9 corbina, and a medium perch. The corbina had some size to them, just not a big size.
Watched an osprey swoop down from the cliff and just miss some fish I could see in the wave. Later a peregrine chased him off.
Scored a tenth corbina walking back to the truck to hit double digits.
Failed to even see a spotfin.
