Got out to Zuma about six in the morning. Surf was small, started off throwing rubber-backed sandcrab for nada - I've come to the conclusion that I've tied these way to lightly.
Tied on a SexMachine, caught two perch. Switched over to littel number I tied to look like MORF grubs, had plenty of grabs, but couldn't hang any. Best moment was watching a perch through a face of a wave as it nailed my offering - and spit it out before I could get the slack up.
It's proving to be tricky fishing that five-weight rod in the surf. Perhaps I'll get tired of missing fish and switch to spinning gear, but for now I'm having a blast watching the few I do hook bend that whispy trout rod over double.
Noticed only two corbina.
Saw a lot of comotion just a tad further out. Something was chasing baitfish around and they would occaisonally fling themselves out of the water enmass. Could makerel be chaising these fish? If so, what is a good color to immitate those bait fish?
Found no crab beds, but came across a few spots littered with their tiny, half-eaten exosceletons.
Water was clean. Left around eight-thirty.
