Finally something to report about.
Go off work at 10 and rush home to pick up the gear and family.
I decide to hit the local water in search of BSP and hopefully a bean or a SFC.
I also brought along some bait that was made at the Belmont Pier fishing rodeo that I took Marissa to on the past Friday.
We get there to a receding tide, set up the wife with live bloodworms and I start to look for crabs.
After multiple trips out I finally got success on my last trip out with the crabs, so was bummed that I didn’t find any. This part of the beach was muddy.
There were a couple of long rod guys next to us , I saw they got a solid hit but it came off in the skinny.
So I go to plan B and throw out some bait. This is the first time I try this so I was kind of nervous.
On the first try my bait got brought back fast so I add more weight, cast and it stays put.
After about 10 min I feel something, I set the hook and the fight is on. The prize was my very first shovelnose guitarfish, I was stoked.
We CPR and I cast back out just past the barkers. I was ready to bring it in and again fish on, but this one I hand over to Marissa.
She fought it like a champ she was super exited as people around gave her high fives. This was I believe a Grey Smoothhound.
After the CPR we tried once more but that was it. Ended the day helping Marissa with her casting.
Thanks for the read and we will see you out there…….
