...surfer. Yup, I'm sure if you surf fish then you know what I'm talkin' bout. I fished El Porto Saturday morning at dawn. I was one of the first on the beach. Dropped my bucket a little north of the rocks figuring that I should stay away from where the surfers would go. Fished for about 20 minutes then a couple of guys paddled out right in front of me. Whatevers, theres plenty of beach, but they chose to go out right in front of me. Then it happened, he caught a wave and headed straight for my line. Board went under, he went over, tangled up my line and his leash. We managed to undo it and we both went on like it never happened. I myself like to surf, but I have always showed everyone (fishers, swimmers, bodyboarders) respect for theire space. Is it me, or are surfers assuming that the beach is theires? Or are we supposed to yield to them? Don't they know that our hooks are "laser" sharp?
OK, now I feel better that I've vented, on with the report. I managed to hook some manini size perch. Maybe about 6"-8" at most. No sand crabs so I used grubs. Still waiting to hook the fatties or better yet, some Corbina's. There were a couple other people fishin' that morning, if you are reading this I'm just wondering how you did.
