In the water at 5:40 to a flat surf that was pretty clear. The bubbles in the water shimmered like you were wading in a pool of diamonds. It took a bit to find the first raft of mullet but by 6, started getting blowups on the rattlin spook in the dark. Just twitch twitch BLWOOOSH. The difficulty is magnified since we couldn't really see anything until we got the fish right next to us. Once the sun popped up I had strung 3 trout that were right on the 23-24 inch mark. The 24 was pushing 7lbs. The other 24 and 23 were 6 and 4 respectively. Half an hour after the sun came up, the topwater bite tapered off, but the fish were still there. Switched to plumtruese bass assasins and finished up the limit. Done by 8ish out of the water at 9 with them still biting but tapering off even more. Hooked a 4 ft shark on a topwater which scared the $@%% out of me. Struggling fish and sharks don't mix. Lost one red on plastic as well. May go back out there this afternoon!

Those are wide receivers! Sent them on a long post pattern and they snagged the spook in stride.Originally posted by Curmudgeon View Post

Very nice FAT trout Jonathan. Thanks for the great report!"Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security. By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary.

Awesome J.
I saw a picture on a surf cam late yesterday and it looked sweet. Biggest 2 fish are thick.
Glad that Shark didn't have a breakfast feast on your stringer.
