Hey everyone!
Had the day off work today. got a call from Kevin last night wanting to hit up alamitos beach the next day with his son Kameron! So get up this morning and head over to norms to pickup some nice bait hooks and some pyramid sinkers for my 15ft surf rod. Get to the spot at 6:30 fished till 1:00.
water was surprisingly clear and calm. We find a good spot and setup..
I had some mackerel left over from my previous fishing trips so thought id use it up.. Set up my 15ft rod with a three way swival rig and the mack. used my other rod with the lc. oh! and all fish released to play another day!!!!!!

1 bonito
1 stingray
1 shovel nose

i agree:Big Grin:

[gavin310]

awesome variety of fish!

how do you fish that mega? if i remember correctly they're pretty heavy, so do you just drag it along the bottom or do you reel it fast enough to keep it suspended?

Kevin did test the water for temp. think it came out at 68ds. but it felt a little colder...

Although gotta say, if it wasn't for your successful reports, i probably wouldn't invested in the LC lures.. So thanks,DUDE!:Big Grin:

Yes, some can be heavy. But i mainly used it at the jetty's were water is deeper... This was my first time using it on the surf. I didn't want to drag it,so after the long cast, right when it hits the water i would start reeling at a good consistent speed then id pause for a sec, and so on...

Man, that's where I caught my first legal halibut and first learned to work the LC. I haven't been back to that spot in a long, but I think I will head down there again after reading your report! As soon as the bacteria levels die down that is, lol.

What's interesting is that the halibut down there have white spots, and the halibut in like SB don't. I don't know if that's because of the sand coloration or maybe another environmental factor.

Also, that bat ray your friend's son caught is actually butterfly ray, so another species to add for that area!

Congrats on the trip, and maybe I'll run into you out there sometime.

Nice job man....i know that spot..ima have to hit it once this rain moves on, and the water clears...thanks for the report!

Wow that looked like a great day. A nice selection of fish. FYI, that bat ray is really a butterfly ray.
