Full moon High tides limited us what beaches we could fish.  Squatch and I made the plan and met up at dark for a little shark surf session. 

First thing I noticed when I went for my practice cast is that water is downright chilly compared to last week!  I didn't venture too far out to cast and tried to stay at ankle depth.  I was using Macks and Walleye surf perch.  Both got bit, but the bites were very Ray like, and not big ray like.  Steve catches a small bat on his first cast and that was it.  Rode out 3 hours of re-baiting and casting practice after that. 

Minimal weeds, but there was a big stringer here and there.

Not sure of water temp, but it's definitely not in the 70's anymore.

Surf was 1'-3' range and very fishable.

This is 4 trips in a row without any real fish to speak of off the beach.  Typical summer-time fishing I guess and can't wait to see if there is a fall shark run.

Anyone else get out looking for surf sharks lately?  It's awfully quiet lately.

Just light line fishing. Lots of small kelp in the water. The current has been pulling pretty good the last couple of days too.
