Asked the kids who wanted to fish from the surf today with me, and only my older boy said ok.
I woke at 5:30 and got the boy up at 5;45. He had some breakfast while I got the gear together.
I decided to just kick back in a chair and throw some squid out in the surf today.
We arrived at 7:45, an hour after low tide, I figured we would work the incoming high tide at 11:30ish.
There were no other guys on the beach fishing, just about 40-50 surfers. I don't know why so many when the surf report said 2-3 foot waves. Oh well!?
We were there about 1/2 an hour when my rod gets bent, but I was too slow to react and my line got cut off..:Surprised: No big, there's more out there. I tell my son he would take the next fish. After an hour he lands this,

His first leaopard shark. He was pretty ...:Big Grin: Then he starts ragging on me to get a fish on. It was about 1 1/2 hours later before we got another bite,

A little butterlip perch, I beleive?! We ended up with only those 2 fish ( which were released ). We lost out on at least 4 other fish and 2 surfers...:LOL:
Had a nice time with my son today, even though he wanted to leave so early. I woulda stayed till after dark by myself.
Everyone Take Care,
