Surf Fishing Malibu 06-25-2013

Surf fished Malibu alone today from about 5:45 AM till 10:00 AM. There was a nice -1.41 tide, so I was able to walk out and cast from where my bait often sits when the tide is up. Fishing was WFO from the minute I got there till about 7:00 AM. I caught two 13" grass rockfish, two 14" calico bass and about a 9" grassy (released) all in that timeframe. After that it was pretty slow getting a bite here and there, but no more fish. I did get hammered by something, but accidentally left my reel in free spool, so by the time I recovered the fish was already off the hook. Hate when stupid mistakes cost me fish, but it happens :).

My phone / camera died so no live pics of the calicos which are much prettier when they are still alive.
