Been doing plenty of fishing the last two weeks, less catching. It's warmed up though. Spent 3 straight nights last week hunting for stripers. Got a (subtle) bite on the pencil popper the first night, friends hooked and lost a few that week. Tried the beach on a grunion run night and never saw the grunions or got any bites.
Monday had a little beach day with Alicia and knocked off the skunk for the weekend with a couple perch.
Thursday I went out with the c-rig morf grub and got a YFC after a lot of dead water.
Not long after, I felt like I picked up a weed, but had a feeling it was another pancake just hanging on. Brought it onto the hard pack before it let go. I was able to touch it before it washed out at least.
Yesterday, Friday, I went out and committed to white grubs. I figured if the halibut are gonna do that with a morf I might have a lot better chance with white. Once again took a while to get bit, but I eventually found the school, and got 6 YFC, 1 queenfish in almost as many casts.
Then started having leader trouble again, now with my fresh Shimano fluoro, breaking leader on hook sets. One break from tangle fatigue, another was a perfectly fresh leader and in the middle of the line. I brought in a mussel shell clump at one point so maybe some of that is drifting around out there slicing line. Missed several more bites before it got dark.
