Did it finally happen? Fun session on the surf!

Had a few skunky days chasing striper leading up to this day. Was doubting my fishing skills. But the first bite makes that all go away. Thanks for watching.

Amazing how calm the water got!! Looks like a good spot for halibut?

[@caloha7057]

Get some halibut there. Really depends on the year. There hasn’t been much bait or bird activity this season so far. I tried for halibut the other day with no luck.

@@caloha7057 Thanks! Do you use a drop shot white fluke or jerk baits for halibut?

[@caloha7057]

@@ronmodafferi8202I use the drop shot mostly when going for halibut. Sometimes throw the white and pink Lucky Craft 115.

Was there a lot of seaweed in the water? Nice fish! 👍🐟

[@caloha7057]

Not this session. But it’s always changing. Any kind of swell can move things around. If I get grass on the first few cast, I move beaches.

@@caloha7057 I hate the randomness of the seaweed. I always want to fish the beach in this video but every time I go I spend more time taking off seaweed than casting.

@@Ducky2oI totally get it. So annoying

@@caloha7057 I occasionally fish in "your 2" area. Maybe, sometime we'll cross the same sand. Unfortunately, I have to drive near 2 hours to get there. Seaweed has ruined many of my trips.
