Surf fishing newport (pics)
Got to the beach around 6:45am very calm waves, long period swell, but manageable.
conditions were promising, there was some good structure and the water was comfortable.
Tons of fat sandcrabs, most with roe. When the water warms up again, there should be corbina all over this area.
Circle hooks seem to be the best hooks for sand-crabs. I like how the barb alway curls over the second crab on the hook.
First cast resulted in a feisty little Barred surfperch.
Swarms of perch were just sucking the roe out, and leaving the crabs alone, so i reversed the way I hooked them.
A few casts later, and...
cast out again and...
ARRRRGH walleyes, gtf away from me!!
I walk into a nice big hole right next to the jetty and cast in....
That's better :lol: This perch was really fat, very pissed, and actually tried to bite me :lol:
First time Ive ever seen that.. LOL acting like a shark!
After that, the marine layer burned off quick, and the perch bite died. If i had got here an hour earlier, i might have found some better fish... oh well.
All fish were released.
