Went down this morning, limited time available, to Bolsa Chica to fish for the first time in almost THREE WEEKS!!!:Sad:
Unfortunately, the series of storms that hit us in the past 3-4 weeks have eroded the beach significantly! From the sand to the water, for example, is at least a 10' drop off (probably more like 12' really)!! I don't know if they plan on shaving it down eventually, but for right now, from lifeguard tower 21 to 27, it's a real pain to reach the water! There does seem to be a slight break around tower 24, but since time was limited, I couldn't do a complete re-con of the area. I'm going to try to do a complete re-con from West Newport to Sunset Beach tomorrow afternoon; let you know what I see:EyePop:
Once I got down there, I did get a few nice hits, probably larger perch, but couldn't hook any of them:Confused:
Tried out my new sand crab rake, worked fine, caught about 12-14 crabs, but all too tiny to even use! By the way, the water felt nice, it's definitely warming up!!!
