One time on the back there was a good pick of fish going and it fizzled out. A conga line of trucks exited the beach as if they were being led by the pied piper...anyways I had walked in quite a distance from the HOTM parking lot up to high head and I ran into a school of monsters on the way back without another soul in sight.
Having the trucks out there is very efficient no doubt, but the guys willing to walk will pull the better numbers many nights.
Man I used to like that stretch of beach, dove on it close to shore, all big cobble for a thousand yards, 30 to 50 yards off the beach, choked with crabs. Most of its filled in but still have had my moments. I do plenty of walking now.

May fortune favor the foolish....
