So what better way to celebrate good friday than by hitting the surf and fishing :)
Surf reports said that the malibu area will have 2-3 ft of waves, and some wind. I wasn't expecting much since whenever I hit the surf when the waves were THAT high...I come out with nothing at all.
Water clarity was once again cloudy close to shore but was a deep blue past the waves. After working the shore from the north and slowly to the south, I got nothing but some salad and MAX 2 bites.
On the way to my favorite spot on the beach I saw this little guy!

Awww so small....I hope it wasnt injured. Maybe he was afraid of the sharks :LOL::LOL:
Anyway on my way to my favorite I saw that the water around my favorite rocks...were clear! Also since it was high tide, the water was deep. First cast into the rocks with my favorite lucky craft I felt like I snagged something...until it started pulling back!
I had a fight on my hands! And while I was fighting whatever the hell was on the end of my line, the song "Wanted dead or Alive" by bon jovi(the theme song to the show DEADLIEST CATCH ;) was playing in my ear buds which made the fight even more cool lol I felt like I was in "Wicked Tuna" or something :LOL:. Pretty epic fight since this was a back and forth ordeal. Just before I'd be able to land her, I would see the flick of the halibut tail and out she went again for another little run.
Finally after a few huge lucky waves, I dragged this beauty on shore.

After some pics, since it was good friday(thou shalt not kill ya know? haha) I let her go :) Hope to catch her again when she's bigger!
Next goal? Hit 24 inches and claim the record for the Soliva clan :) Or catch me one of these things you guys call.....Ghost :Wink:
Happy Good friday guys! God bless and hit the beach already!! :Fishing Hole:
