Warning:..for those who haven't been out lately -
The swells were down right nasty this morning, felt like the ocean was dumping 10 gallons of water on me every 5 minutes...only 1 close call...2 waves came in back to back filling up all the crevices between the rocks...the next wave was a monster and made it in before the 2 previous ones got out.., filled up the area I was in and lifted me right off my feet...had to use the butt of the rod to lodge me in. I started before sun-up and didn't realize how large the surf was until I felt it. Try not to put your hood on all the way, you'll need that peripheral vision, they were coming in from all angles, it's still helpful in the dark..and don't waste your time either, if your fishing BIG white water, pick your casts, it doesn't make sense to cast on a wave and never be able to work your lure because it rode the wave all the way in before you had a chance to add action to it. If you've ever seen fish in the surf, more than likey you seen them working right after the wave broke (thats when the baitfish are disorientated and the Striper strikes) ,,,time your cast so that your working it right after the wave brakes....and lastly, if you have to wonder if your safe, your probably not...so be safe out there this week/end. Travel in pairs if possilbe -
