Hit one of the VC 7 holes Saturday night about last light and low tide. Conditions looked great, just a breeze and almost flat surf. Started out casting from about where my bait usually sits the tide was so low. Spent the next 2 or 3 hours without ever getting a bait to set for more than 5 minutes max. Looking at the conditions I would have never guessed it but the floating salad and current was out of hand. Before I could even get my rod set up in a holder ilI would have a leafy stringer wrapped where my line entered the water dragging everything to the south quickly.Even 8 oz sputniks weeny holding for more than a minute or two and my line would end up parallel to the shore within 10 or 15 minutes. Only reason I gave it more than an hour is I could tell the hook was staying clean of salad most of the time, I was just getting wrapped up high where line entered the water surface. Oh well, twisted my own arm to put up a lackluster skunked post but the long term surf forecast looks good and will give it another go soon...
