Malibu Surf Fishing 09-22-2012

Got to my spot around 8:15 AM about five minutes before the low at 8:20 AM. Started out with squid on the top and wall eye perch chunk on the bottom and only caught rock crabs at first. Caught three by hook and line throughout the day (released). Fishing was pretty slow at first until 9:50 AM when I caught my first fish, a nice grass rockfish that was just shy of 14". It rocked a piece of wall eye perch which of course was my last piece. So squid it was.

About 10 minutes later (around 10:00 AM), fish on again. Feels smaller, and it was. Pulled in a 11" or so Cabazon.

After releasing him and casting back out less than ten minutes later (around 10:10 AM)....another grassy on squid. Kept this guy since he was a little over 12" and looked tasty.

Cast back out and about 30 minutes later...fish on again, this time a 18" or so leopard shark. Damn, fishing is hot today!

Cast back out and about five minutes later another Leo, then another then a decent sized perch to boot! Let him go because I do not care for perch too much and two rockfish is plenty.

Great day of fishing, packed it in around 11:45 AM. 3 and a half hours of fishing, seven fish, I will take that any day of the week. Some nice joggers were also an added bonus! These are the days that make me love fishing the sea. I am truly blessed.
