well, i haven't been surf fishing in about 2 months and i got the itch. my brother had never fished from the surf before, so i called him up and told him to come give it a shot with me...probably should have picked a better day than today :Neutral:
arrived at point dume around 3pm in hopes of catching an afternoon bite and to try some shark/ray fishing into the night. aside from it raining earlier in the day, the weather cleared up and it was actually a nice looking afternoon. got down to the water only to find that the waves were completely out of control and the water looked like an all you can eat salad bar!!! decided to not even give the lucky craft or big hammer a try, so my brother and i just stuck to the perch crack to try and land a few. we only managed to land 3 measly little perch, but at least we got the skunk off. it was soooo frustrating out there with the rough swells and all the salad. once the sun went down i tried throwing some freshly cut bait out for the sharks and rays, that only lasted about 20 minutes because i couldn't get my 2oz weight to stay on the bottom with the 50 pounds of salad it was picking up...so we called it. better luck next time i guess.....at least i got my brother on his very first bsp :Smile:
poppin' his perch cherry!
