Surf Fishing Malibu 12-30-2012

Met up with Brian at the Malibu spot, I got there about 10:45 AM and Brian showed up around 11:00 AM. Set up shop in the normal area and fishing was DEAD for the first couple hours or so. First fish was caught by me at 1:30 PM, a huge 15.5" grassy that had a small whole perch in its mouth, and a baby lobster in it's belly. I thought it was huge until Brian started catching pigs. We moved further North to the new spot and Brian proceeded to pull in a 16" grassy at 2:02 PM, a 17" grassy at 2:31 PM and a 15.5" grassy at 3:49 PM. I also caught a little 11" grassy at 2:43 PM.

Final count was
Brian: 3 Pig grass rockfish
me: 1 pig 1 slow day keeper grass rockfish, but let it go today.
All caught on Squid.

Decided to make a quick trip to Malibu. Arrived around 11:45 AM and left around 3:00 PM. Caught a small cabazon at 12:20 PM, then a calico perch at 12:50 PM. Nothing after that :(. Pretty slow day of fishing, but nice to be out.

So the wife dropped me off at the Malibu spot a little before 8:00 AM. I fished alone until around 9:00 AM when Brian arrived. First fish of the day was caught by Brian at about 9:30 AM, then he caught a few more smaller grassies until I caught a nice 12" grassy at 10:55 AM by moving well North of my normal spot. Well, it looked nice until Brian hooks into a 16" grassy at 12:40 PM at the same further North spot, then a minute later I brought in a 15" cabby. We kept fishing till about 1:30 PM, then called it a day. Final count was five grass rockfish for Brian, one grass rockfish for me and a legal cabby. I also had a monster on a one point that snapped my 40 pound test like it was 4 pound test, it felt huge whatever it was. Another great day in Malibu...and I found a new spot too :) In the last pic below, the whole small perch was in the stomach of the 16" grassy, greedy little guy.
