Been awhile since I've been on the sand and needed to scratch the itch.
Dad and I met at the new spot we've been trying, but a test cast revealed lots of salad climbing the line within a minute.
Made a move and set up at a different spot with stellar conditions.  Not much current, surf, or weeds.
We soaked macs for 2.5 hours without a nibble.  There was something out there stealing the bait, but not big enough to wiggle the rods.
finally as we're packing it up, my spinner setup doubles over and line starts peeling off as a surf bat makes a long run out to sea.
Fought it for about 10 minutes before my dad pulled the 40 incher up on the sand.

Still can't find the grinners, but it was great to pull on something heavy again!

Biggest thing I've seen get pulled up on the sand in a while.

Nice job guys!

I bet it felt good to pull on that bat for a while. Keep putting in the time, they will show up soon.
