Lunch break Fishing Carpinteria 20190816
« on: August 16, 2019, 03:16:57 PM »
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!

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!
You can't catch them from your computer chair.
