So I haven’t been out in the salt for like 3 months …. New House, Daughters and the wifey … not so easy to get out….. But, We were heading up to my Brother-in-laws for Easter weekend. Here is my chance….My brother-in-law is stationed at Vandenberg Air Force base …. Which the base is so damn big, it has a plentiful array of private beaches…..Come to find out, no one on the base fishes them….Can you say Prime fishing spot!!!!!! I’ve been up to my brother-in-law’s a couple of times and scouted out the beaches…..NICE!!!!!
So Saturday morning, I get to the beach about 9:00 am, bcuz that’s what time it opens…..Little windy, not to bad…..but it was very choppy….wave after wave after wave….So I decided to start out with some Kroc action…..Nothing was biting….Not sure if I was even fishing it right, since I’ve never tried to use my krocs from the surf….so I decided to rig up the good ole c-rig with the camo gulp wormy…..First cast, SLAM!!!!! Nice little perchy…..Second cast…..SLAMMED again but this time it was farmed….I caught 2 nice sized perchy and farmed about 6…..I did hook up with something big, my pole went bendo in a perfect U, but it broke off a couple seconds later, not sure if I was using to big of hooks or not…..I forgot to bring my 1 oz. weights, I only had ¾ oz. so I wasn’t able to keep my line where I wanted to, plus without waders, I wasn’t able to really hit the spots that I wanted to hit….. Only was able to fish for about 2 hours or so, had to do the Easter weekend BBQ with the fam bam but All in all, great time, Out on the beach, all by myself, NO SKUNK, great to be back on the salt…I picked up one of those fishing jackets, worked like a charm, way better then my belly pack I usually use.
Waders are a must and will be my next purchase…..
Any tips on how to fish krocs will be greatly appreciated…..
Pics to follow once I get my camera connected to the pc…….
