I had some really nice surfcasting outings this year, some with quality in quantity.
The best outing in 2019 was a bit different. I had found some early
season activity where the bass were active during a dusk bite. The
next couple nights I returned without any gear or intention to fish but
on a mission to put my 9 year old daughter on fish.
She cast to and landed her first bass, then over the two evenings
caught 37 more. They were all caught on bucktails. I just stood next
to her coaching and acted as the designated official bass unhooking
assistant.
She landed many more bass than that, but she noted that they were
bass that I cast to an hooked for her. Funny.... By the end of the two
nights you would swear that she had been bucktailing and landing
bass her whole life.
I am really happy to have the opportunity to share those evenings
with her. It was blitz fishing and these days those incidents are rare. I
really never thought I would have a chance to share that experience
with her. The energy in the surfline with the birds, bass and bait in a
frenzy. It was awesome!!!
