Got the urge to go fishing today. Checked the tides and conditions. Clear skies, small surf, but the tide was bottoming out in a couple hours

. Went for it anyways. I had a good feeling as I was crusing on the 75.
First spot was low surf, clear, some salad and not much structure. Started with a swimmy then the crack for nothing. Moved to spot 2
Found some holes and to throw the swimmy into. keep getting bites, figured perch were around and switched to the crack. Couple cast later I get hit like a train and its peeling drag off my 6lb setup. Thinking this is no perch.. Leo? Its getting closer and I'm looking.. nothing yet.. No leo, but a door mat lifted out of the white wash.

shes a big one, and I new it wasent over. Went for the tail grab and she darted off again. I chased her down the beach and after a few more runs I grab the tail.

A fellow angler witnessed and congradulated me. Said he was fishing all day for nothing.
