: Pre-Grinner Gathering - Beach Intel (11/16)
: Latimeria November 17, 2016, 07:32:47 AM
I'll start with the good...

Beach had some chopped salad, but totally fishable.  Eels and lobster were out in force.

Steve caught 2 lobster and a nice turd roller on the bass gear.  I had a SCREAMING run on the long rod, but farmed it.  A few casts later and I got on the board with a medium leopard shark.  Steve follows up with a leopard shark of his own, so a success.

Tide forced us out, so we left early.  Steve got underway before I realized that my tire was flat as f@ck, so I called him back since I needed a hand due to the hill I was on.  Pain in the ass to get to my spare tire and after getting the spare on without crushing us, saw that my spare was pretty much flat. Changing a tire on a hill with an OEM jack is quite sketchy.

Thankfully I have enough in my truck to survive a zombie apocalypse, so my air pump got the tire round again.

I swear this year has just been the absolute worst in so many aspects, but I'm still breathing living and fishing so I got that going for me.  lol

Thanks Steve for the help.  I really appreciated it.

OH yeah, lots of sand washed away and there is a thick cobble layer under the sand at certain parts which makes sinking your rod holder a little tough.  Just an fyi just in case.

 No problem. Happy to provide moral support. When the spare was low, I expected you to pull a back up spare out from somewhere.

At least you weren't completely stranded! Always helps to have a good buddy who's there for you. Forgot to mention the cobble stones in my "recon" report. Good to hear the salad is clearing up.

Bah I hate cobblestones. I'll bring the beach cart to have an option if I can't stick the sand.

Joe bring that Tripod stand down. That beach is the ultimate test once it lost its sand.
