6.5 mile coastal hike. Hey, it's where the bugs right now, aren't. Cool loop my wife figured out. I could see doing an overnighter there by the lake about 3 miles in. Surf perch bite was hot. Caught us dinner and then some, including my biggest to date by far @ 14".
These things are seriously tasty! Firm, flaky meat, perfect for tacos...... I think they've hooked me. Very fun, VERY engaging fishing; it amounts to fishing a drift....... standing in the teeth of the Pacific! Today the surf was mild and the drift was a slow left- right. Goal was to keep my shorts dry. I failed completely. Incipient hypothermia chased me out after a couple hours. That is one cold [bleep] ocean and I had mission critical body parts starting to glitch on me.
