Short report.
Hit up 72nd for the first time and ended up with a small diamond turbot off GS:

Ran into several members (BeachBear&theMrs, TomPayne, and BelmontBoy) from another forum and BeachBear/TomPayne hooked it up with the ghost shrimp. Really nice guys. Anyway, it was fun getting my feet wet and talking with those guys. I wish I could head out there more often but I'm in Irvine, so CDM/NPH is my main hunting grounds. But I think weekends may change, if I have the time :)
Anyway, after the turbot, I got a big bendo on a retrieve close to shore. Didn't set the hook quick enough and lost it. Not sure what it was... I *was* going for beans after failing at halis with a bleeding olive swimbait and luckycraft :( Switched from my 12lb baitcasting setup to a much lighter 4lb spinning outfit (that's for you sonarbp!!! :D :D :D)
