Saturday afternoon hit the beach with my 2yr old daughter. Cant really fish with her unless i have help, which i did today in the form of a lifelong friend and his wife. was super nice out there and i stumbled upon an area with a great deep trough this time and few people at 430 slack low. had a large bonita chunk from a prior offshore trip that i had been saving just for this. my buddy swam/waded out the unsuccessful first bait and i swam out the second bait. Both baits got beyond the deep bar but the second bait was out there as the tide started to push in and sunset approached. Well my spinfisher v jiggin setup started to go while i happened to be reeling in the bait rod right next to it so i jumped right on it. peeled the 150yd topshot of metered PP and took another 30yds of backing all the while going wild on the surface 4-5times. wore em out after a few more minutes and had my first large spinner off the beach in the suds. stud fish, conservatively 80lbs, Mom should go out of town more often.
picture doesnt give good frame of reference but there it is.
Nice shark in the suds, surfwrangler!
