Low tide and mid day had things slow until about mid tide and 4 o’clock. The green brown water/tide line moved from about 4 or 500 yd to about 100yds off the beach as the winds switch from a cross onshore to a lighter onshore wind. It was brown nasty water with decently rough conditions. Dropped a chunk of Bonita about 150yds at dead low and a chunk of cow nose about 300yds. They sat silently until I heard a slow tick on the ray chunk. Then it ran about 10 yds and stopped. Played with it some for a minute then nothing. I set in the rod holder for about 30 seconds and it went tight and then extremely slack I thought for a few seconds while reeling in darn a bite off. Then my second thought the experienced thought took over that’s to light to be a bite off he’s running in. I mach 5 150yds in come tight he gets a taste of drag and runs another 200yds to the surf. I mach 5 it again for like 200yds. I get him in the big breakers and he feel s small like sharp nose or small black tip. I see pieces of fins in the waves and I’m like man a little black tip pass the rod and start to leader and he turns in to a decent lemon, next wave he turns into a big lemon and he comes to live full of energy. From leader time to release time was about a minute and I did it solo. The hook was barely in so that saved time and made it easy it didn’t even break skin really. Fished from one to about 4:30 the bite started about 4. I caught 2 sharp nose back to back on a spinner as I’m dehooking one after just doing 2 100yd yak outs and reeling them in as fast as I can like 5 minutes each the big lemon hit my big rod at 4:15 or 4:20. My work was done.
