Shore Fishing => Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports => : SevengillTheVC March 21, 2016, 08:11:58 AM

After getting the text and seeing Ron's report me and my buddy decided to hit the grounds again since they have been so good lately. Another short session from 5PM to 10PM, Surf was up but definitely fishable. We had a nice overcast going too which seemed to switch the sharks on much sooner than sunset. About 45 minutes in I get a tell tale bite and it goes slack I try to feverishly get up the slack but he got away with my bait. Another 20 minutes later my buddy has a real screamer, I see it in the waves and saw a huuuuge bat ray. He taped out to 56" I don't know why he didn't show up for the bat fight lol.

Oh well, next year ;). About another 40 minutes later I get a gill to stick but he managed to roll himself off the hook. I worried I'd be having another night of lost fish. Rebait and recast and 15 minutes later I'm on, with glorious aerial displays. The shark would burn through one wave to come smashing out of the other end just going ballistic. He had a pinkish hue so I thought at first I had a nice soupfin, but seeing the tail I knew what he really was. A respectable 84" male.

Definitely the hardest fighting 7 I have encountered. My buddy then gets a good hit but like my first was unable to get to the rod to make it count. About an hour goes by before my next stick but again this 7 was able to roll the hook, on for about a minute then nothing. My buddy then gets his shot at redemption about 30 minutes later and managed this 64" male.

High surf again this week but it was a good few sessions while it lasted, and I'm sure they'll be there when the surf dies again. And hopefully this spot will produce some Soupies in the Summer!!!

Damn, the spot is on fire! VC is rollin now...
LOL & cryin at the same time on the 56" Bat... >:( Right place, wrong week
xjChad, that's the one that bendoed you last Saturday, :o I'll betcha! you were right when you told me you just lost the winning bat.
Adam, who got to tail grab your ballistic 7? Haha, that must of been lotsa fun.
Keep it hot bro
-
Damn. Awfully tempting to head up there soon. Congrats on the grinners!
-
Damn, I knew I should have made the trip last night again. This weekend is looking great up there. If the surf holds for this weekend, I will be up again.
-
Yeah sorry Ron. My phone gets no reception at that spot so I didn't get your text until after we got into Ventura. We shall slay them some more!! Ray make a trip up here someday, this new 7 spot is the shiznit, each night if every bite was landed we'd have 5 shark nights!
-
Nice going Adam!
Did that bat have any extra face jewlery by chance? LOL

-
I'm starting to realize these 7s are all over VC
There's a healthy population of them as well
-
If only we could get some soup with our 7s! :P
-
They are there, black sea bass too.

You'd convert as the soupfin fight 10x as hard as any seven. 8)
Well, well, well.... you guys are crushing it up there. Have your buddy sign up on the forum so I can make them count on the Shark Leaderboard! I'm going to try and get a donation from a shop for the biggest surf shark of the year off the beach... to members only.
Well done once again, and if Ray goes up there to fish... be sure he has a tough time fishing. There might be something in it for you if he catches no Seven's or Soupfin. LOL
(You have brought out the competitor in me Ray!!!!) lol

LOL, some nicks in his line when he's not looking should keep him from landing anything.
Sorry, Ramone.

I see I brought the fear out of many 8)
-
I got your back Ray!! I have seen how hard you have worked to become just like Quint from Jaws! LOL! :P
As a side note it looks like the surf for the weekend is great for NVC, go out and get em guys!!! I gotta job search since China can't prevent their warehouses from exploding and my company has lost all business with China therefore layoff. Sweet :(!
-
Adam, that sucks about the job >:(
One of the reasons I'm proud that my companies products are made in the USA
What kind of gig are you looking for?
-
Either sales or manufacturing. I have a Dewey so I can't drive as a part of work. Thanks for your sympathy, I know I can find something else it is just hard coming away from something you had a passion for!!!
-
Bummer dude, it will work out...
Job hunt in the morning and fish in the evening.
Get unemployment benefits in the mean time.
-
I've been there and it sucks.
I'll keep my eyes open for you.
-
I'm employed with a sales job and hate what I do. Not sure what's worse.
Keep your head up. If you can sell one thing, you can sell anything.
