I should just stop taking guys fishing with me, that's all. Brought another friend out to Zuma and this time instead of slow fishing we found no fishing - or, rather, no catching. Arrived at roughly noon today, fished a lowish-looking high tide and managed to pull off a double skunk. Had exactly two quick pick-ups on a rust/motoroil colored fly.
The water was very clean, but the surf seemed to be breaking quite a bit farther out than I've ever seen. Also, the current was running West to East - oposite of the way it's seemed to be running the last several times I've been out at that location.
Perhaps bait would have produced better than flys?
Anyhow, I'm getting quite a bit of practice at double-hauling and if the fishing continues at this rate, I should be able to land a cast in Japan by summer.
Hope someone here had better luck this weekend than I did. (And by someone, I mean you, Wingnut.)
