Had stuff to do today so I took the day off. Wasn't until later so I hit the sand for a few.
I played around with a new to me style of bass fishing last time out on Tom's boat. It worked really well so I decided to give it a try after seeing the bass were on the chew.
Stopped at one local spot and it was 4 feet deep in weeds for the whole beach. Got back in the car and tried somewhere else.
Found a likely spot and started casting. Lots of weeds. Made a twenty yard move and it was clean. Funny how it is.
Third cast and my line gets heavy, great, kelp here too. Then as I get it close I watch a short halibut drop the lure and swim off.
At least I know it can work.
A few more casts and the grom squad walks out and starts surfing right where I'm fishing.
Make another move and I get hit on the drop. Wow! Success!
Got a couple more bites I'm sure were halibut, but they never got the hook and dropped off on the way in. No biggee, I was bass fishing anyway.
4 bites and one fish landed in 2 hours, but it was a nice morning to try out something different.
