Malibu Surf Fishing 05-23-2012

Fished a spot in Malibu from about 12:30 PM till 7:00 PM. A 3.16 High tide was at 12:30 and a 2.22 low was at 4:47 PM. Tried squid, octopus, shrimp, sardine, smelt and mackerel. Main problem on the day was as soon as your line hit the water it was covered with eel grass and the fish cannot see the bait then. For some reason I stayed way longer than I should have given the conditions. Finally went home skunked again when it started getting too dark to get back to my car safely. Going to try some spots further North of Malibu next time since this one has seemed to die off for now.
