So Dan (GotBass?) and i had to get back out there again but we wanted to hit a spot a bit more north then last time. Plus our other buddy Rudy wanted to join in on the action.
We got 4 bags of squid and a bag of dines and hit the surf. Got there around 8am this time armed with 2 surf poles. A fly fisherman walked by us on the way to the spot and said he was seeing lots of leo's in the surf and he caught a few smaller ones in the rollers. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!
We bait up the surf poles and toss um out there. Then we get to perch'n. We start slamming the perch right off the bat and then WHAM BAM ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOM my surf pole goes off in less then 10 minutes. I ended up pulling in a 4.5 foot guitar fish. Then the other surf pole went off and another guitar fish comes to the surf. I keep going for the perch and they were slamming the sand crabs every cast.
Then i get another guitar fish then Rudy gets one and then Dan gets one. I go to take a pic of Dan's fish and i can't find my cell phone!!!!!!! I must of dropped it making bait and off to the O-chin it went!! DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well i don't let it phase me we just kept at it and the surf poles were just going of left and right. After about 2 hours of trying to perch fish i give up on the perch because the surf poles were going of every 5 to 10 minutes. Beyond WFO!!!! It was plain epic!!!! We were catching everything on the surf poles. Once the tide went down we got a chance to get to a another spot to the south of us. We march over there and This spot was even better for the surf poles. We started catching loads of Leo's and some huge bat rays.
Then Rudy's crackberry gets dropped in the O-chin!!!!! Damn!!! we were taking all the pictures on his cell phone after mine got lost!!! So we have no pictures of this EPIC day.
We left around 6:30pm before we got trapped by the high tide.
I have no clue how many fish were caught today but I'll make a guess of about 60+ on the surf poles and about 50+ perch. The second spot was pretty much impossible to perch in because the surf poles were getting slammed right away. By the time you were able to scoop up a sand crab and put it on the hook the surf poles would be going full bendo. Missed a few really good hits by trying to perch lol.
Fish caught:
30+ shovel nose guitar fish (biggest was 4.5')
15+ Leo's (biggest was a 4')
50+ Barred Surf Perch (Biggest was 12")
3 guitar fish
2 Bat Rays (Biggest was 50+ pounds)
2 Smooth Hound shark
1 Halibut
1 Yellow Fin Croaker
1 Walleye Surf Perch
I ended up with the biggest fish with the 50+ pound bat ray plus all the other big fish came to me too. Rudy lost a huge Leo in the 5 foot range right in the sand. We almost ran after it lol but it was too fast.
Sorry i have no pictures seeing as both cell phones we were taking pics with are lost to the sea grrrrrrrrrrrrr. This was by far the most epic day I've ever had on the surf ever!!!!!!!!!
