12/26/13 Pismo Beach Surf Session

[FishingwithDave]

I like got the best wife ever. A few weeks back she came up with the idea to head to Pismo Christmas Day. She said I could bring my fishing gear too. Sweet!

Had a few libations last night, so I got up a little late. Was on the surf about 7:45am. Started off with a 2" Camo Sandworm on a c-rig. Had a few bites but that was it. Switched to an LC110 Barred Perch and hooked this nice perch. Couldn't find my tape measure but I'm guessing 12-13.

Kept working the LC and I hooked into something big. At first I thought I was snagged, but then some big head shakes. Could hardly move it and then more head shakes and then gone. Have no idea what it was.

Landed my first Leo and PB surf fish. I'm guessing 21-22 inches.

Surf got ugly and dirty so I called it at 10am. Should get out several more times before we head home Sunday.

Dave I have the Best wife, so lets get that straight right off. She tells me to go fish..........:Envious:

Anyway Pismo beach is a place I have always wanted to try. Get there a few times a year and never have my gear. Next year I hope.

Well congrats on getting into some action. And where did you go the night before? Fun town.:Food: Been there done that:Tired:

Looks like a very nice time was had.

Thanks for sharing,

Went back out this morning and found the surf to be pretty rough. Stuck it out for a couple of hours, but only managed a small Leo. Heading up to Avila Beach in a few to look for some areas to fish. Looks like the surf may be calmer there.

FYI, there seems to be a lot of sand crabs in the water. Constantly snagging them on the 110.
