Finally back on the sand!
It's been awhile since I posted any reports because I just haven't had time to get out there.
Anyway, I was able to get out today for about 45 minutes on my lunch break. Pretty big waves (3-5 ft), and strong downhill current. Not too much salad but the water was pretty stirred up.

No hits the whole time until my last cast. Got nailed after 2 or 3 cranks. She fought good, even pulled a little drag. As soon as I unhooked her and picked her up she started spitting out babies. I scooped them up and threw them in the water then got a quick pic before releasing her. Didn't have time to get out the tape, but I'm sure she was a solid 12", and thick.

Feels good to get back out there and get more confidence with the Lucky Craft :D
As always, thanks everyone for the great info and advice that's helped me enjoy this so much!
