checked the surf cams around 7:30 this AM and it looked better than I expected....so I knocked out a couple of meetings and to do's then headed down south!
Hit the surf around noon and immediately started crossing some eyes!
The smacks were putting a hurting on the mullet pods.....literally knocking them out of the water. I saw a few get slapped nearly 10' out of the schools. Made sure I rigged up with a wire leader and a 3/8oz silver kastmaster and it was on!
Strung 2 smacks & 2 trout in 30mins @ my 1st stop (see pics).....took a break while a thunderstorm rolled thru....then jumped back in at another spot and ended the afternoon stringing up another smack and 3 more specks.
caught a load of dinks, a couple of rat reds (which surprised me) and a couple of 20"+ skippys.....I lost one big smack that slammed my spoon when it was about 5' from me.....she started smoking the drag and I said "oh yeah" a good one!
was getting ready to settle into a great fight and the %&#* hook pulled out!
oh well that's why they call it fishing not catching! Otherwise it was a great way to spend a Monday afternoon!
tight lines & keep crossing those eyes!
