went surf fishing with my buddies in hopes of catching a few stripers but we caught everything but stripers. :D...i caught 5 bluefish on spoons (lost 2 others that spit the hook while doing a nice tail dance), a sea robin on berkley shrimp bait, a 35 inch sand shark on clams, tangled with 2 mating horse shoe crabs, and my friends caught some blues, a skate, and a 40 inch sand shark. funny thing happened with my sand shark. we had a school of blues come in and then the action died down. i figured id take a 15 minute nap and dry off. i wake up and see my rod being slowly dragged into the water so i jump in 3 feet of water set the hook and reel the fish in. almost lost my rod :D...it was very foggy and we only saw two undersized stripers caught by another fisherman (and the undersized stripers were kept [mad])...it was a good day for me because i learned how to fish surf better since ive only fished surf twice before. cant wait to have some shark steaks tomorow at the restaurant my bro works at [tasty]. they clean and cook them for me for free...

Looks like you guys had a great day. What beach did you fish from?

i wake up and see my rod being slowly dragged into the water so i jump in 3 feet of water set the hook and reel the fish in. almost lost my rod
That's definitely a good thing that you woke up in time. Your friends didn't see your rod starting to move?

Nice work Mack. I have never been surf fishing and am really looking forward to going..looks like you had a lot of fun...[up]
 
That's cool. I'm going to have to talk my cousin into taking me surf fishing. I've only gone saltwater fishing twice. Once this year with catfish hunter (boat) and once last year on a party boat with my old job (this trip sucked).
