Had a short day of work today, so decided to check on the spot. Arrived at 3 pm to wonderful conditions, clean clear water, and small, 2 foot waves. Started my walk, and got a tug about 15 minutes in, a wee one about 12 inches. Sorry, no pics. Continued down to where i knew there would be fish holding, and caught another small butt. My spot didn't initially produce, so kept working down the beach. I'm working my LC, and I lift the lure out of the water, only to see this massive butt turn around, and high tail it out to deeper water. That got my attention, and I worked the spot for another 5 minutes, and got him to go.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j249/exfactor1/photo%20copy%2014.jpg (http://s82.photobucket.com/user/exfactor1/media/photo%20copy%2014.jpg.html)
I was the only one on the beach, so decided he was going to join me for dinner, and stashed him up the beach. A very nice fish, that measured 31 inches.
I kept working the area for another short, and decided to go back to my boilers, made 2 casts, and bam, another lunker! Made short work of this one, and it's a
28 incher! http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j249/exfactor1/photo%20copy%2015.jpg (http://s82.photobucket.com/user/exfactor1/media/photo%20copy%2015.jpg.html)

lol, and was actually puffing a bit by the time I got back to my truck. A glorious day by any surf fishing standards, and very jazzed to have
had a day like this.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j249/exfactor1/photo%20copy%2017.jpg (http://s82.photobucket.com/user/exfactor1/media/photo%20copy%2017.jpg.html)http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j249/exfactor1/photo%20copy%2013_1.jpg (http://s82.photobucket.com/user/exfactor1/media/photo%20copy%2013_1.jpg.html)
