I hear ya!!! I was out and got my arse kicked in the surf! I specifically targeted beaches that were NE facing trying to get the biggins in close chasing bait and it worked!!!

It was funny as hell, I did not put on my waders because the wind was blowing so bad that it was impossible to do. I took my shoes off and went fishing in my jeans. I must of looked like one of the idiot tourist but I think I got a little respect from the locals that were there fishing because I was using my conventional (BG7500) while everyone else was using spinning.

The only thing we could throw in those conditions was metal as the plugs wood have blown back at me!

We got a good number of fish but could have had more if the lures were able to get out further; you could see the fish stacked like cord wood but could not reach them.

The fishing was tough but it was one of the best fishing experiences I have ever had. I caught more and bigger fish other times but to be out there seeing the surf raging was WAY COOL!!!

I will try to get out there again maybe next time I will bring a longer rod than my 10'.
