: Picked up Greg at 5:30AM and headed south. We weren't sure where we were going to launch. Ended up at Descanso, just south of Las Dunas. Paid $5 for beach access, made ready and headed out in some fairly sizable surf. I took a breaker that almost knocked me off, Greg managed to get out completely dry. Wind was blowing about 10 knots offshore, so we let the wind do the work and fished as we drifted out. As we came near a group 20 or so kelp stringers we both went bendo on the FTs and quickly limited on some pretty grumpy Sandies. Anything was hit on the fall, after releasing quite a few, we figured out there were Whitefish down there and picked away at them on cut squid, a couple smaller rockfish , a Sculpin and a Calico. Heading toward the beach my lines got hit by what had to be some kind of shark. I had a whole squid with 1 1/2 oz slider that went screaming and pop before I could grab it. I had a FT out and that goes off , lines going fast , swings me around heading for the horizon and drag got too tight toward the end of the spool and snapped, had to be a shark. Landed in some even bigger surf, packed up and hit the border at 2PM with a 1/2 hour wait. All in all a very cool low-buck adventure.Andy__________________Fish hard today......Work hard tomorrow
Nice job Iceman & Fishead,
Those half-day trips across the border are just what I need to get me through the winter.
