Usually, by this time of the year, I fish much less because of the heat, humidity, insects, and change in the prevailing bait. Because of the cooler weather this year, there's still some better fish around. I'm still going out 2 or 3 times a week to keep it honest. Either I might find some sort of a pattern, or maybe I'll find a good fish or two. This is what it got me tonight . Partially straightened belly hooks and a large scale on the tail hook .
Larry, now you know why I've been looking for backups, just in case .
Beautiful night last night, fun surf, cool evening, few bumps, some dink fish, but it was great to be out. Nothing like the spray of surf roaring through boulder to sharpen the senses a bit more.
Beautiful nite, big tide and a nice swell - wind so calm smoke rings from a cigarette went straight up in the air...and no mosquitos...
Cookie cutter fish nuts about a McKenna-rigged Sluggo from my second cast on, all between 27 and 32" and some were carrying sea-lice...no wall-hangers but still a lot of fun
I dunno, if you could put that all in pill form and throw in the sweet salt air you'd be a wealthy man...
Glad I overcame the inertia and went out
"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
I'll drink to that, Cap - in fact, I did...

MANY years ago..... as you headed out to the surf......
in your old Jalopy.... Playing the tune "KING of the Road"
on the car RADIO.....
those radio signals have just recently reached an alien RACE
way out in the Universe and there is some Alien guy out
on the beach lookin up at the Stars whistling this Tune.....
