Got out for a couple hours in a buddy’s boat. Ocean was calm enough to run his 18 footer to the 40. We found lots of spawning Grunts and the soon to be protected Black Sea Bass. Didn’t get a water temp unfortunately, but its warming up fast. Three other boats joined us, one trolling (for what, we wondered?)
Tally for a couple hours at the 40 was 30 Grunts, 15 BSB and 1 Ringtail. We also hooked a big Shark that broke the line.
On the way back we fished a popular spot off the beach and brought in 2 fat Whiting . Another big Shark took my cut Grunt off the bottom, ran, did a few surface maneuvers, then spit the bait.
Lots of giant Cannonballs floating off the beach.
That’s a report. Back at it ASAP.
