9/28 north of the pier

[Iceman]

Beautiful sunny morning. Surf was up a little, water felt cold, managed to get out with just my knees wet. Breeze was never more than 4 kts out of the NE. Made some greenbacks, picked and chose a few smaller ones. Put one on the bottom and moved around, tossing a swimbait here and there. Saw some bait on the surface later on and cast out hoping for a "lucky sardine" Pulled in a nice big sardine and a greenback. Put the dine in the tank and as I was unhooking the greenie I heard a "bloop" and looking over the side I saw a shiny scale in the water, that was a very "lucky sardine" Changed out the grenback a few times, but nothing to show for it. I found redtide off of Blacks, so spent most of my morning around the pier working from 25-80 feet por nada. Full limits of serenity and solitude. I'll be back for more next Monday.
