After not being able to fish alot lately I decided to go solo on the surf this time.
Had some new gear I wanted to try out and needed sometime to myself so i headed down to Long Beach. Visited a spot I haven't fished since last year. Got at the water 9am since the peak high tide was at 1:30pm.

I worked a half mile stretch of beach back and forth till the tide came up in full. Tons of structure which was great.Water clarity was clear.

I first fished the LC and first fish was about 15" safely let it go. After a while i switched to the dropshot. Nailed a 18" and 18.5" with about 4 pancakes under 12".

At about noon i got hammered fought the fish for about 5 mins . Ran twice on me as it was on my foot. After a fun and dirty fight got him in . He ran 25 1/2 ". I got dinner for tonight yaaaa. Tried for a few more till 1:30pm got 3 more pancakes to 12" then called it a day.

O ya the beach was totally empty. I was there alone .

Total count
10 halibut (25.5",18.5",18",15", and six 12" or under)

Setups:
Lamiglas xcf705 w/ Shimano Calcutta 201 12lb test Lure- LC FM 110 Metallic Sardine
Shimano Crucial 7'2" MH dropshot rod w/ shimano Saros 2500f 7lb test Lure- Zoom fluke 4" w/ 1/2 oz

Congrats hakaveli! 10 halibut in one day is a killer trip, and with a legal thrown in for dinner makes it perfect. LB is definitely a nice area to hit up this time of year when the water quality cooperates. Having the beach to yourself is just a bonus. Maybe we'll run into each other there someday.
