Surf Report 2/28/2013
Well, guys. Today I woke up with the itch to hit the surf and see if there were any perch that wanted to bite out at my usual spot. I also wanted to try these Berkley fish grippers I just bought. Grabbed my gear, and headed toward the beach. High tide in the area was to be at 10:44 AM, so I arrived around 7:30, in the water around 7:45. Right away noticed the surf on this incoming was a bit higher than my last trip, and it was evident by me being soaked by a couple of wild breakers. Oh well, I kept it pushin to some structure I was able to see, and fired a couple of casts into some adjacent pockets. I was rigged up with a carolina rigged 2" Bass Pro Squirmin Grub, scented with Pro Cure Calico Cocktail. The result was a couple of nice little fighters, maybe like 9-10 inches? I kept walkin south, catching a couple of small perch in the process. I got to one of my favorite little holes, a small rocky trough, maybe like 10-15 feet long, and hooked up into the biggest fish of the day, a 14" female piglet. She had a serious wound on her left side, like a cormorant or somethin tried to get her. Took a couple of pics, then let her go on her way. After that, the action slowed down quite a bit. Called it a day around 11:00. Fish total was 7 Perch, the biggest goin 14", down to palm sized fish. Not too extraordinary, but I had to get my fix. Now Im off to Santa Barbara to hop on the Stardust tomorrow mornin!
Thanks for readin guys!!!
