Got a good streak going with the light tackle surf fishing. Wanted to scout out the Anaheim jetties but arrived to see it was a $15 entry and I forgot that regular humans get Veteran's Day off, so I didn't wanna pay money to be in a crowd. Water from the road didn't look bad though. Also noticed a fire on Catalina. Looked like it was under control fairly quickly, but not something you see every day. Just looked it up and it was a 17 acre wildfire that was dealt with.
Moved north to Sunset Beach and found free parking at 2:30pm. Peak high was around 2pm so fished the steady outgoing. I like that stretch going toward Bolsa Chica as it's steep enough for a little trough to almost always be there. Got short bit every few casts and finally beat the skunk at 4:30pm. Funny how since my move I was able to catch a halibut, a leo, a YFC, and a WSP on the light tackle before I finally got a single Barred Surfperch.
Already in breeding colors too! Too bad it was just the size I was looking for to add to my bait collection in the freezer!
Fished through sunset and not another hookup. Nice weather to be out.
