Malibu CA , 8/9 , 8/10

[Edgar]

Hey guys this is my first report , a little late , but i think noteworthy .
8/9 So i got to Malibu at 5:30 am , hit the water right near the pier , it was overcast and high tide , almost slack tide , there was a lot of baitfish nearby and mackerel were just destroying them with an occasional yellowfin showing . I tied up my 110 ms anchovy and started searching around , i found a trough maybe after walking close to a half mile , changed up to the 115 mr metallic sardine and Bam ! I'm on on my 2nd cast, and it put up a fight bigger than its size 18.5" . This guy got me all excited and pumped up so you know how it goes ) i keep fishing this trough for about another 20- 30 minutes and nothing gets tempted . I move on and keep casting . i pick up a couple more shorts in another spot i knew , so i knew they were out there , after an hour and a half of picking through weeds i get a very aggressive take really close to my feet the fish goes half airborne and deffinately looked decent . He didn't really put up a strong fight, beached him , measured 24.5 . this photo's not really good enough proof but i wouldn't lie ) the tale s out of the pic too) So i decided to end my day after like 30 minutes and a couple shorts .

8/10 I got to the Spot i caught the legal the day before at around 6 am , Conditions looked the same , a little more weedy , a lot of eel grass and small strands of kelp . It was pretty hard to find clean strips and work my bait through them , but i know i did a good job ) lots of shorts , one 21.5 ) a mackerel , couple perch , couple yellowfin , one massive Corbina , all on 110 metallic sardine and aurora black .
So Yeah guys i adjusted back to LA pretty well ) I am very happy to see a healthy population of hali's in the surf , i love seeing them beautiful peculiar looking bloks) And I'm sorry for not getting the pics in order ) i kind of had a hard tie uploading them first of all )

Hi ya Edgar,

Excellent Effort Edgar! ...... a.k.a. EEE (sorry for that, the devil made me say that! Ha ha ha!) and welcome back to LA!

There is a huge kelp bed up in that area and you were able to persevere the vegetation and produce a very nice bounty ... excellent sessions Edgar!

Thanx for the fishing intel report and a great job on your first posting Sir!

I hope that you are registered for the up coming HG-6 Event and I also hope to see you there!

Hey Dan ! EEE was funny ) thanx a lot! It's cool to hear it from a S.W.A.T member ! I've run into that massive bed I it's on the left side of the pier isn't it ? I lost a FM in that forest ! Also tried to fish through the grunion run at the same location yesterday night, I was with a friend , the swell was pretty big ! We found some grunion , but none of the predatory kind.

Thanx a lot guys! Fished Malibu today again, no butts, but some big perch and yellowfin were on the chew !
All my holes are gone though, looks, and feels like a totally new beach . Water temp felt strangely high , or maybe just my hangover )))
