Ba Dum Ta! Tough crowd...
Fact of the matter is the last sighting there for me was 11/24. JayRay and I had a dorsal fin cruising about 30 yards off the beach. It went past me, by JayRay, went a little further down the beach, attacked something (probably a batray), came back past JayRay, them submerged as it past in front of me. I waited patiently and the music started. It started heading straight out and just as I saw it's silhouette in a wave it spit the bait out.
Also I did see a shark fisherman with a beard who I've seen at the San Clemente pier. The guy is heavy duty and ready for a big one. I don't think he's on this forum. And he did have a teen age kid in swim trunks swimming his lines out.
Conditions at Capistrano beach are getting more rocky but I did manage a corbina today and a batray last time I went.
Interesting thing I've seen going out there in the mornings is a lobster fisherman setting cages close to shore there so there must be some good structure out there.
Well hopefully my number will come up soon and I'll actually land a grinner. After seeing Verns saga unfold I'm getting more and more anxious as to how much it's going to take to get there.
