Well got to PB got set up etc. Took the youngsters on the beach at low tide
shell searching. Found an area about 20 yds wide where there was a massive sand crab hatch. It was cool for the kids to see, They would step on the sand & it would just start moving like it was alive, which it was with all the baby sand crabs. So found landmark & said I'll be fishing here when the tide comes up. Sure enough went out on incoming tide & hooked up on Our first casts. We caught & released loads & got bit on every cast. Only kept one for the kids to eat, seeing as how I'm loaded down with fish from a previous boat trip & The BSP'S are dumping babys. Lots of dinks average is about hand size
& biggest was about 10 inches all are fun though.
Sorry no pics forgot My cable for camera. So theres lots af bait fish out in the water & theres been a recent grunion run & this is the time of year that the hali's start moving in, been reports of lots being caught down santa maria way. Anybody have any advice on baits,tides etc for the surf butts in the Pismo area. Been coming here since I was a little boy, but never fished for the halibut in the surf.
Thanks
