Woke up pretty early today for a quick sesh before work. When I got to my location the tide was lower than I like it at this place. Shrugged my shoulders and fished it anyways. I felt like a mad man trying to get as many casts as I possibly could in half an hour. I found out it's pretty difficult to maintain a slow retrieve when you feel rushed.
About half way through, the scenery and serenity kicked in and time was no longer an issue, I felt at one with myself.
I cast out and let my lure hit the bottom, as I am bringing in my line I start feeling some tension. I set the hook and it feels like I set the hook on the floor :Embarrassed: but then my rod tip slowly starts to come back up on its own. Whatever it is, it isn't the floor. I start working it in but feels like dead weight. I have to keep working it since I am only using 6# line. It gets close and I am finally able to see some color. It was my personal best Start Fish :Cool: at about 12". As I get closer to pick it up from the water my right foot starts to feel a little moist. I looked down and my entire shoe is submerged in water :LOL: and it was coming in through the shoe lace area.
All in all got one Star Fish and one wet foot.
Not bad for a quick sesh!
