Got back out to Torrance today for a midday session 1130-1330. Swell seemed like 3-4' sets at 7 seconds, occasional 5-6'ers in the mix. Just barely keeping contact with with a 3/4oz slider. Kelp was unmanageable on the south side of the beach but as I walked north I got out of it for the most part.
Holes had a nice milky color to them. I could see birds working from the road and it looked more intense from shore. Got real close to casting range once with terns dive bombing in quick session and in awesome density.
Too much stray weeds otherwise I would have thrown a KM.
Managed 1 YFC on the c-rig, though. Still collecting bait for sharking trips so he's the first YFC I've ever kept. Perfect size to chunk up.
I would think twice about sharking in those kinds of conditions, but I'm thinking of hitting the OC Thursday or Friday night where it looks like it'll be 2-3' at 10-12 seconds. Maybe scout with light tackle in the daytime to make sure weeds/red tide are no issue.
