I wear a neoprene, sailing type glove with short fingers.
Feel like Michael some summer days.
Either way it is surf so it is the basic: Tire them out and then time the wave to slide them up the beach. Then you gotta be there, rod up, with the left hand grabbing the leader and dragging it up to high ground. NEVER let the rod down when the water is rushing back out (as a matter of fact if you are standing in the wash with the fish in your hand and water rushing back out all around you then you're friggin doing it ALL wrong). It will pull the fish back into the wash and snap you off in a instant (at least on the ocean beaches). Anyway you decide to do it the glove helps you grab the leader without the line slicing into the outside of your pinky (which REALLY hurts the next night !
).
And when it is cold you can wear both (and not be such a cakeboy), they keep you nice and toasty,
Don't have to worry about that anymore this year. It seems to be fully over. I just got in from a hike out to Smiths and it was deadsville. A major colony of seals and a billion sea ducks flying across the sky on their epic journey south.
Ah well. Work hard for a week or so and then head west for a little. It was a fun year out here.
