Hi All,
After reading all the successful sessions, I decide to head on out with my son yesterday to give it a shot, but we got lost and we didn't know where to surf fish. We ended up driving around and found a pier/dock on M or K street, but it was packed with like 10 fishermen so we ended up fishing on Balboa Pier. Total catch of the day (6am-12:30PM) = 1 small mack.
Bitter and unsatisfied, I decided to head on back to NPH today with a buddy to catch ourselves some sharks/rays/halibuts/bass. We rented the skiff and fished at all the suggested spots (wedge, sheriff, bait place, etc). We saw Maverick , his wife and his baby tearing it up (Well, actually Maverick's wife was the one who wreaking havoc on em bass). We tried to stay close to Maverick to steal some techniques/secrets :Big Grin:, but no good. The area got really crowded around 10:30-11ish and the skiff kept on drifting, so we decided to try our luck else where. Through out the day, we had some nibbles here and there, but nothing hooked/commited. All in all, we had a really good time, but we would have had a great time if we caught something :Neutral: Total result for today: 0, Tackle: 10lbs, drop shot rig, Bait: squid, live sardine, gulp shrimp, shrimp.
We are planning to head on back to NPH in a couple of weeks and we hope to catch/hook some fish this time around(or should i say, catch a fish for once :Big Grin:). So if there is anyone who has some pointers/tips/directions and is willing to give us some; or better yet, if there is anyone who is willing to take us along on their next fishing trip to show us the rope (surf fishing or from a boat), please sent email or IM. We don't bite, I promise. :Big Grin: And of course, we are more than happy to compensate you for your time, gas money, bait money, or so (please just be kind and reasonable :Big Grin:).
Thank you in advance,
Dustin
