Didn't take too much coaxing to get Binh to hit the surf with me. I brought the bait and he brought his sand hand skills
Surfline called for 2-4' surf, there was 5'ers mixed in there. Lots of broken up kelp and eel grass too. My first handful of casts could attest to that. Didn't even have any sand to sink my spike into. Binh got lucky and found a small patch for his. Held mine the whole time.
An hour goes by and I had nothing to show for it but a pile of grass and kelp and this skunk busting smooth hound and a cool little crab hiding in a clump of foliage I reeled in.
Decided to make a move closer to our point of entry while Binh moved south. I found better conditions and far less salad to reel in. First bait goes out and comes back in untouched. I recast the same bait and see Binh heading my way. He posts up to my right. We chat about the guy who came over to talk to me and my rod begins to do the fish biting thing and then the clickers starts screaming! I take it out of the holder and push the star drag forward. I get some sizzling runs that fooled Binh into thinking I had a bat ray. What the heck is that?! Haven't seen one of those in a long while. Whatever I had turns around and is racing towards me. Gotta reel my ass off to catch up!! 3 runs and some solid head shakes later, we see it flopping around in the skinny. She was pissed!! Lol!!
Slowly climbing that leader board!!
