Sorry to post on Sunday, about Friday the 31st, but just an update that it was beautiful, surf ok, and only a very few guys caught squid early. We caught a few macs and trolled them around, and caught zero squid.
I didn't see a single YT or WSB caught. So those who didn't make it out didn't miss much.
Now on the beach, there were plenty of catchable and releasable things running around in bikinis..... time to change the bait and approach perhaps! Some days it may be nice to sleep in and just go to the beach, without all the work, and just read a book. Anyway, now eating smoked YT from a previous trip, so not all bad. Cheers all!
