Went for Grinners, Found Bass & Grass
« on: March 27, 2015, 05:17:25 PM »
Well, damn.  Met up in the surf with Ray in hopes to get on a grinner or two.  Conditions looked pretty damn good and we started to get into a bunch of short biters, but I managed to get one of them. 
Little Calico.



It was really starting to look good, when the grass beasts started to come rolling through.  I'm not kidding... they were busting the 80 shock leader.  Ray actually busted off and sure as sh!t, I happened to snag his weight and hook and he got it all back.

Unfortunately for me, I tried one more cast and lost everything.  This is the third time this year I recovered their rigs and lost my own.  I even paid the fish gods their homage and at least I didn't coma away with the skunk.

Hopefully the beaches clean up and the sharks start to show again.
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Sucks about the sharks. I still say it's pretty sweet you guys get Calicos as your bycatch!

At least you didn't end with a stripe! I hope the grass waits a bit before it gets bad elsewhere.
It's all Tom and Don's fault! They "hooked" me on mud marlins and sharks!
