old age? what do you think we are senior citizens Larry?
Maybe surf fishing ain't what it used to be but I personally find it very satisfying and rewarding. It's still a challenge and I learn something every time out.
I also don't think surf fishing has been poor the last few years, maybe you are speaking only of the backside beaches which, yes, they have sucked the last few years at times, and there is many things to cause this like, the bait stays offshore about a mile, seals roam the shorlines, mung has been thick, access is being squeezed. People may simply be not puuting in the effort they used to so it seems like not as many fish are around but I think less people that know how to catch them are putting in less time, get it?
I'll catch them fish any way I can, walk to catch them, ride a bike, drive a truck, take a skiff, take a ferry, whatever it takes when I have time to enjoy it.
Alot of guys are bringing yaks out on the beach because it's the only way to reach the fish during the day out there, try it you may like it.
yes Mac, I stood that seal on it's head, maybe it was stupid of me to try to winch him, but I wanted my plug back atleast. too bad the 52 lb leader broke, next time I will open the baill before the seal has the chance to grab it, and if I get sealed again, I'll loosen the drag some(locked isn't the way to go).
Yes Freak, friends with boats is way better
