Moved from Harbor City to Westminster in part to be closer to the OC beaches and harbors I've been fishing so regularly. Go figure that my first trip since my switching of counties is to the NEXT county south: SD. Grass is always greener!
One or more of ya'll might have given me some intel a while back on where to go when I'm in the area, so I went with Jared and Kyle over that-a-way. Ended up having trouble with parking so I know we did it wrong. Ended up at another spot with issue-free parking. On the sand about 19:40 and fished until 22:40 without a bite between us. Used mostly mackerel and I switched to croaker at the end. Mild kelp, nice gentle Santa Ana keeping us warm.
I've been out half a dozen times with these two guys as they get their bearing with surf sharking, and only the first trip did we put anything on the sand. We really need to change our luck soon. Gonna scout some fresh (more local) spots in the coming weeks.
Oh! And I know I mentioned that we went on a steelhead trip a few weeks ago and I never wrote a report. Mostly because it was 2 jam packed days of fishing with no bites. Didn't even take many pics so it wasn't worth much to relive the frustration via unabridged summation.
Luck's gotta change soon!
