Walked down the 300 steps to the spot (might only be 100) and got little man and I set up to toss some bait.
Set him up with a nice bonito head on his new spinner and I put half a sand dab on my long rod.
We fished about 3.5 hours and changed baits a dozen times. Dabs got smacked but aren’t a good surf bait and come off easy, even the heads. Bone got hit but it was a mix of lobster and small rays from what I could tell.
Saw a diver getting ready, he shined his light on us 3 times before getting in. 10 minute into his swim he was in my line. I waded out, shined my light, whistled and yelled at him until I had his attention and he went north… then got out and left.
Saw two decent shovels and a turkey platter size bat in the skinny while casting so I put Donovan’s rod a little short and right between the two small sets of breakers but he just got swarmed with bait stealers.
Called it at 8:30. Still had bait but we were both freezing and decided warm showers and dinner sounded good. The stairs proved a little Challenging with cold, numb feet.
