Thanks Robert. I'll be in La Jolla Friday and Saturday for a wedding and I'm already scoping out a section of beach walking distance from the hotel Addiction... what addiction?

That's one heck of a first surf fishing session... good omen for your surf fishing future.
If I remember right, I actually didn't recommend the Pluton for the surf, did I? Don't dunk that Pluton.
I prefer the Luna...
You did a great job and I'm wishing you continued success out there.
You are right Wingnut. However, your comment about being a great swimbait reel is also what helped me make my decision... now I have a reel that will do double duty It just so turns out that I will be trading a fly outfit to a friend for a Calcutta TE and Lamiglas swimbait rod.... so maybe I should have got a Luna. Well, Father's Day is coming up and the Wifey has been asking if there is anything I wanted.....
The Pluton did work great in the surf. The brakes worked awesome. A couple of slips from wet hands that I'm sure were going to leave a nasty nest to pick out... but the reel managed to smooth itself out.
Thanks to all for the checking out the first surf report. Hopefully I have something to report back this weekend.

Indeed, a great first outing/report! You did the research, got the gear, went out with a good mind-set and were well rewarded! Thanks for the report!
