.....new to the board and to surf fishing. Been reading reports and advise postings gaining some "surf" knowledge, thanks to everyone here and to Pontoon, Wingnut and Dana for their "how to" posts, they set the standard for all others to follow.
Only been a couple of months of fishing but I have been hittin it every chance I get and living a 1/2 mile away from a noted spot I have been getting into some fish.
Last weekend for example I started right out front at my home beach at sunrise, incoming tide about 3'. Not sure of water temp but seemed warmer then the air temp, worked that beach until about 12ish (lifeguard said i had to go now) and got skunked.
Tried the Santa Ana river outlet the next morning, very cool, fun place to fish but parking is tough...same result, skunk!
Decided that since I had Mon off I would try further south hopefully less populated, Aliso Creek State Beach.
6AM, had the place to myself....incoming tide and 2'-3' shore pound surf but casting just over it was not to tough. Found some structure and worked it there.....first few casts got me my first shorty using a LC.....was a blast getting him to shore. With in the next 60 min got another shorty, and two Ribbed Perch. Shortly after the water went from clear to cloudy and the fish quit biting. Worked the beach until 10ish and called it. Took a drive to do some more scouting....all in all was a great day and thanks to FNN and all the fine folks I'm havin a blast with this.......good times......
Peace out, thanks for sharing and tight lines........
