I had a few hours to kill and was torn between topwater fishing the little bay or hitting the surf. The surf was so small, I decided to go that route. I was also going down to meet Dave at Fishermen's Landing tackle sale for a little, so I had to make it quick.
Lot's of tiny bites early and a killer moon-set to set the mood.

I couldn't get anything to stick and it was looking grim. I set my timer to leave in 15 minutes and my mack chunk got bit!
Not a huge fight, but it was a legit 4# calico.

I contemplated eating him, but set him free since I was heading down to the landings for a bit to buy some tackle.
It salvaged my day, but not much fight on a bass that size when I was using a stick for critters 20x his weight or better. ;D
Tomorrow I hit the small rods... unless I decide to hit the big pond for a chance at a yellow.... so many decisions!

Not a bad skunk buster....even on the heavy gear.
Good luck tomorrow. I'll be hitting the surf nice and early. Hopefully it produces something worthy of a report.
