Sunrise Surf Fishing Malibu 01-21-2014

Since it had been a whopping three days since I had fished, I headed down to a spot in Malibu, CA to do a little fishing. I was greeted by darkness when I arrived, but a spectacularly beautiful sunrise as it slowly made its way up. Lots of pictures of the sunrise, sea and sky in this post. I arrived around 6:05 AM. Low tide was a 1.87' @ 6:06 AM and high tide was a 3.63' @ 11:33 AM, bait was squid. Aside from the calm seas and gorgeous sunrise, sky and sea the fishing was very very slow. My only fish of the day was a very small (6-7") grass rockfish which I caught at 9:01 AM. A nibble here and there was all I got after that until I packed it in at 10:19 AM. Slow day of fishing, but worth getting up early just for the views.
