Fishing reports for March 16 to 31

[Coop]

It's getting close to the fishing season. Get your gear ready and hit the beach and have fun. Feel free to post your reports here, fish or no fish.

On the beach and not even a bite or a hint of a fish. Saw a seal for a breif moment swimming around in the trough. That was pretty cool.

You been up high or down low lately? Did you get a water temp? Couldn't have been too high with the seal in the wash.

Ben, didn't get a wt, the battery that was in my water temp gauge is now in my tv remote ...Been fishing low in the same spot and all the small ones have dried up for now. Still very very early. Hope to get into a Large or 2 this spring. Can't wait.

Steve, don't worry, thats surf fishing...some days you catchem and most days you don't. There is always some catching to be done at the end of March.

Fished the beach today with OC snapper. He was there all day, I hit the beach at 1:30. Beautiful day at the beach, the water looked fishy, but 9 rods in the water, and no fish......

That sums it up for yesterday glad to see ya on the beach

Fished a while with Dad this afternoon and caught a few nice perch. Still not too thick, but saw a few nice ones landed by another guy. The grass shrimp were small and hard to find.

There was also a nice size otter swimming around for at least an hour. He came up next to dad just after he arrived and made a big splash. Dad just about fell overboard!

Dad caught this perch with the bait net in the rocks!

Fished AI today from 10 am till 5pm w/ ffemtreed (Jim) - 8 rods out, not a bite.

Was great to meet another member and was a nice relaxing day anyway - sure beats working!

Oh - and Jim has one coolest dogs ever! Lets here it for Bubba!

[ffemtreed]

Trowpa said it all, No Hits No Runs No Errors (other than me casting). Fished from around 9:30am till 5:30pm, Used fresh bunker and clams. As Trowpa stated we had 8 rods out at one point between the 3 of us (Trowpa, Fish'ngrl422 and me)

It was nice meeting you Steve, hope we can hook up again and actually catch something next time.

Jim

BTW --- Bubba has a big fan club

Just curious... How was the wind and how well were you guys holding? Eight rods, you must have been ok.

[ffemtreed]

Wind was touch and go all day. Morning when we got there it was really windy, then the wind died down a bit then came back. It was like that all day.

I am not sure what Trowpa was using, but I had 10's on my lines that where in the middle and 6's on my two other rods. We did get crossed a couple times, but for the most part everything was holding.

The funny thing now, I went about 50 yards down the beach to play with my new conventional setup and I only put a 4 on it just to learn how to cast it and that actually held with no problems, of course I waited for the wind to die while I was learning how to cast that thing.

I will say my face is pretty windburnt today.
