Hello Everyone,
I went out with my wife's brother and his friend to San Clemente for surf fishing. I was so excited because I finally got my new fishing rod and reel. It was a combination of shimano calarus (?)and stradic 2500 with 6lbs line. I went out with grub and Gulp! sandcrab and shrimp. I got nothing for those. The wave was quite strong. The time was around 700 pm. High tide was in. I set it up with a carolina style and fish out there. Reel it in slowly. I went skunk for 4 hours. Not a single bite. While my brother and his friend caught 2 YFCs and a ton of sandsharks. We released all. I have a question-What did I do wrong here? Fake bait seem not to work at all. My brother in law used shrimp-is that why we caught sandshark?
Call it end at 1045pm and drove home to the Inland Empire. I had a great time run up and down at the beach even though I caught nothing. :lol: Feel free to pm me if you like. I have 7 days left before going back to work. I definitely want to go out to the ocean again. Any suggestions?
Fish on and God bless,
servantjoe
