Fished almost a full day, like 11 till later then now, posting while hoping for a last minute bite. Had a school of blacktips punsih me around 1. 2 bite offs about half way on my deep baits. Several non committal runs. 1 bite off was when i was hooked up. Went 0 for 6 on fish that pulled drag and had about a dozen short strikes. Lost a 5 to 6 ftr after about 4 jumps. Caught a small stingray, lost a decent fish on my bait rod and caught about 4 whiting 13 to 15 inches and one that was a 14.5 bit me on my thumb and drew blood. Got me right were the nail meets the skin, so it was a great spot to get bit. Lost my shades riding in a rogue 4ft plus wave on the yak. They were less than 15 bucks so not to bad, but they worked good and were less than 2 weeks old. I think kevin van dam brand but they were from walmart. Lost about 200yds in topshot and 2 rigs with 16oz sputniks. The current had my lines doing windsheild wipers with the tide. Left right left right. I had double and triple ups on runs but produced nothing but tangled lines and i could see them jump off my line twice during the chaos. It went calm, rough, calm,rough; no wind and blue bird to blowing close to 30 and looked like t storms. Shad, mullet, stingray and a secret bait were big baits and got hit on all, fished whiting for cut bait bait and caught a baby ray about 5 inches across. Ive notice there is a lot of tiny rays and jumbo whiting this year. I layed on the beach and remembered how much i love beach fishing. Lines in at 8ish 1 was emptu 1 still had bair. All in all a good day on the sand, but i may be cursed. Lol. Good luck and get out there.
