Since I had Monday off and the tides where right, I thought I would get a surf fishing session in. Mikey was feeling under the weather so it was a solo session for me. I get to the spot by 7:30pm and the high was scheduled for 11:30ish. As soon as my first bait hits the water I get critter bites right away. It was bugs for sure, some of the bites had me thinking shark a couple of times. Within 5-10 minutes my baits would look like this.
This is a hollowed out mac head after a ten minute soak.
I decided to move 30 yards south of the critters which helped a little bit, my baits seemed to last 20 minutes before getting picked clean. It started sprinkling around 10pm, but as long as there wasn't lightning I was going to fish until I ran out of bait. I get a nice pull down that pulled some drag, but as soon as I set the hook it felt light. I reel in this bait thief to get a little redemption.
I would guess he was about 16" in length. He went back to catch another day.
On my last bait I get a little pull down, but it turned out to be this medium size guitar fish
So, things are starting to look up for my catch ratio for 2018. Hopefully, I can get something to post on the shark board soon. Mikey be scared, be very scared.
