saturday afternoon break 3/3/18
Needed to go pick up a couple of reels that I had serviced at Anglers Tackle in Oceanside.
Since I was headed out that way I decided to bring some surf gear, just in case there was a break in the weather. :Razz:
When I arrived at around 11:00 it was a beautiful sight to see the waves were just 1-2 feet, but close together.
I picked up my reels, bought some new trebles and a new LC FM115, Anchovy pattern.
I decided that I would head up the coast to one of my usual haunts.
There was an outgoing high tide that ended at around 4:00. It was 12:15 when I arrived so it was a perfect time to see if I could get a tug on the end of my line.
It would be about an hour before I got a nibble and it was a fast one and I didn't set the hook.. :Neutral:
Considering that it had been a couple of months I won't complain.
It would be around another 10 minutes and I found a clear spot in the water and it was holding;
This particular stretch of beach has been lousy the last few years.
Well there is finally structure in the water again and I feel confident, "Halibut Hotel" will be holding tons of fish again the near future. :Wink:
Just like the one I pulled in 20 minutes later;
I did lose another flatty but that's okay, It just felt good to be out in the surf again, fishing, thinking and a little bit of catching as well. :Big Grin:
Take Care All,
Robert
