I worked most of the beach with a 11' spinning rod and a Tackle House Feed Shallow, wading knee-deep into the surf. The fish struck right in the suds in front of me, maybe 10 feet from me and 30 feet from the shore.
A small fish but nice to see. A feeling of joy to eventually see one on the end of my line, but moreso relief than anything I guess! lol.
Would have been that wee bit more satisfied if it had been 2 or 3lb - which is a common stamp of fish for this beach when they are eventually caught..
Some damage to the dorsal and adipose fins on the fish. But it swam of strongly, back into the suds!
Happy Man.
That'll do...... for now...
