Hey guys this is my first report , a little late , but i think noteworthy .
8/9 So i got to Malibu at 5:30 am , hit the water right near the pier , it was overcast and high tide , almost slack tide , there was a lot of baitfish nearby and mackerel were just destroying them with an occasional yellowfin showing . I tied up my 110 ms anchovy and started searching around , i found a trough maybe after walking close to a half mile , changed up to the 115 mr metallic sardine and Bam ! I'm on on my 2nd cast, and it put up a fight bigger than its size 18.5" 44856 . This guy got me all excited and pumped up so you know how it goes ) i keep fishing this trough for about another 20- 30 minutes and nothing gets tempted . I move on and keep casting . i pick up a couple more shorts in another spot i knew , so i knew they were out there , after an hour and a half of picking through weeds i get a very aggressive take really close to my feet the fish goes half airborne and deffinately looked decent . He didn't really put up a strong fight, beached him , measured 24.5 44857. this photo's not really good enough proof but i wouldn't lie ) the tale s out of the pic too) So i decided to end my day after like 30 minutes and a couple shorts4485844859 .

8/10 I got to the Spot i caught the legal the day before at around 6 am , Conditions looked the same , a little more weedy , a lot of eel grass and small strands of kelp . It was pretty hard to find clean strips and work my bait through them , but i know i did a good job ) lots of shorts , one 21.5 ) a mackerel , couple perch , couple yellowfin , one massive Corbina , all on 110 metallic sardine and aurora black .44866 44860 44861 4486244863 44864 44865 44867
So Yeah guys i adjusted back to LA pretty well ) I am very happy to see a healthy population of hali's in the surf , i love seeing them beautiful peculiar looking bloks) And I'm sorry for not getting the pics in order ) i kind of had a hard tie uploading them first of all )

Hi ya Edgar,

Excellent Effort Edgar! ...... a.k.a. EEE :ROFL: (sorry for that, the devil :Twisted: made me say that! :LOL: Ha ha ha!) and welcome back to LA!

There is a huge kelp bed up in that area and you were able to persevere the vegetation and produce a very nice bounty ... excellent sessions Edgar!

Thanx for the fishing intel report and a great job on your first posting Sir! :Thumbs Up:

I hope that you are registered for the up coming HG-6 Event and I also hope to see you there! :Cool:

Hey Dan ! EEE was funny ) thanx a lot! It's cool to hear it from a S.W.A.T member ! I've run into that massive bed I it's on the left side of the pier isn't it ? I lost a FM in that forest ! Also tried to fish through the grunion run at the same location yesterday night, I was with a friend , the swell was pretty big ! We found some grunion , but none of the predatory kind.

Thanx a lot guys! Fished Malibu today again, no butts, but some big perch and yellowfin were on the chew !
All my holes are gone though, looks, and feels like a totally new beach . Water temp felt strangely high , or maybe just my hangover )))

Very cool report! Those were some awesome two day numbers. Sorry to hear the holes have vanished there...I was looking forward to hearing about some more slayage.:Wink: Funny how you'd think the recent big swells would dig more holes, not fill them up. Had the same thing happen to a couple of my favorite haunts earlier this year.

Congrats on your comeback and your big scores!
