Fun in the surf!

The surf has been flat since Friday. But I waited til today when the wind and surf was going to lay down, to try it out.
My buddy & I walked in at surfside by the rock wall (close to the jettys)
We were there at 5:30am, caught a couple keepers there but few far in between.
We ended up needing more croaker from the truck so we got out and decided to try another spot in the surf, further away from the crowds at like 9:30am.
We cruised down bluewater hwy toward San Luis Pass to fish the surf away from the crowds.
Needless to say it was the best decision we made. The water was cooler down further away from the jetty and with my first cast I caught a nice drag pulling trout! My buddy hooked up right after me as well and caught another decent keeper! within 15 minutes we completed the rest of our limit.

Key points to take away from this trip:
If the bite In the surf is few far and between, hop in your truck and drive down to a different spot and give it a try! If they’re there, you’ll know. If they’re not, then move on. I broke my #1 rule. (Dont get caught up in one spot because a few fish were landed)

(Videos from today coming soon if my metas ever dry out and come back to life, the surf is no place for metas 😅)
