Absolutely mind blowing to think about how much has evolved and changed throughout time.

Anytime Ben~! Much much deserved. She was super thick. Awesome to see you catch it on the spinning setup. Might have to get myself one soon. That top photo is such a good shot!

Very nice! It sounds like it took a few of us to land one this year. All within days apart. I should just repeat what was said above. Maybe we’ll choose the right beach next time. Congrats.

Pretty baitless so all store bought stuff.
Yeah I’ll be out there tonight and tomorrow. But I bought some Norwegian Macks lastnight from Seafood City and they were fairly nice and bloody and really large. Nothing as good as fresh caught but did the trick.

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / First Timer 5/2
« on: May 03, 2019, 12:16:58 PM »
First time forum poster here.. I’ve been wanting to wait to catch my actual first before posting and we’ll last night finally did me justice. I’ve been watching posts and learning new things for months for this page. I was surely about to hit 10 consecutive skunks in a row if not more. Okay 10 is just really being nice. Ever since the beginning of this year practically every weekend. I had been spending more and more hours over and over again watching people catch em but I’d go multiple nights in a row without a bite it. So with all the recent posts lately I thought maybe I’d give it a shot. Took out my brand new Daiwa Seagate 50h, got to the water around 7:30 on upcoming tide and threw on some bloody mack chunks. Conditions were ideal with a seaweed at the minimum. Swells weren’t too bad until later into the night. Missed my first bite at high, hooked into my first on outgoing. Didn’t fight crazy, just head shook like I’ve nothing felt before making me think the hook was going to pop the whole time. But Im beyond stoked to finally have got my first one. Healthy Male taping out at 65” and swam away strong. It’s about damn time...

Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Re: A Good Start to 2019 - 1/8/19
« on: January 09, 2019, 10:18:07 AM »It seems like forever since I'd been fishing and I desperately wanted to get out on the sand this week. After checking the surf report, I knew last night was my only chance. We have huge surf predicted for the rest of the week and sure enough, I could see it getting really big as I drove to work this morning.
I was so anxious to start fishing that I bailed a bit early from work and got to my spot right away. The conditions looked decent and turned out to be really good the whole night. 2-4 foot waves, very little salad, current, or wind. I was expecting it to be pretty cold, but I was comfortable the whole evening.
I set up two rigs. My 12' Penn Prevail with the Penn 9500SS and my 10' Daiwa Emcast with the Penn 970 Mag Power. Both with the same terminal rigs, but I baited the longer rod with bat ray and the short one with mackerel. Once I had them soaking I settled in to enjoy the sunset.
With the weather we've been having and the changing beach terrain, I wasn't expecting much. It was a really quiet evening. A couple of people walked the beach with their dogs and kids, but as the sun set I had it all to my self. I checked my baits a few times while I waited, but it was really slow. No bites or bait stealers or anything. Then about 6:00 some kelp rolled through and I had to reel in both rigs and reset. At around 6:45, I'm thinking to myself that I'll give it another 15 minutes and if nothing happens I'll head home. Right then my longer rod took a good bounce and then a deep bow! As I ran up to the rod, the drag was singing that beautiful song of "Fish On"! It was pulling so hard I had difficulty getting the the rod out of the holder. I finally did and set the hook a couple times just to be sure. The fish just kept running. Must have taken 150 yards on the first run. I was expecting a Sevengill, but this sure wasn't acting like one. Once I got him stopped, we had a few minutes of standoff where I couldn't gain line and he wasn't taking any. When I finally started getting line back, he started heading north. I worked him in closer and closer as he went, but as soon as I got him in the breakers he took off again and peeled another 80 yards off. This run must have tired him out because after he turned I was able to work him back in and with a few well timed waves got him in the skinny. I could see now that it was in fact a Sevengill, and a pretty good size one. It had a huge head on him and heavy body. Since I was solo, I loosened the drag and set the rod back in the spike so I could drag him further up on the sand. This was the heaviest 7 at this length that I've landed. He cooperated well for a quick hook removal, measurement and pics. Then I got him back in the water and he took off immediately. This male taped out at 89".
After he swam off, I sat down for a few minutes to enjoy the adrenaline rush and send pics to a couple friends.
I put out another bait, but it sat idle for the next half hour and it was time to pack up.
Met another buddy on the way out to share some bait then home to tuck the kiddos into bed.
It was a good day
Stats for Tom:
Male Sevengill
89" long
Tide just started coming in
bat ray bait
Congrats. Great way to start the new year.
