Finally got to hit the rocks again after a long December. I made it out there by 12 noon and had to leave by 3:30. It was a real low tide and pretty nice weather. I started shallow as usual, down at marker 29. My rods were my 7'9" heavy act w/ a 1/2oz slider sinker, red glass bead and I started off w/ a 6" Senko. I lost a couple 6" Senkos without a bite and switchted to a 5" Strike King Zero. No love on that I switched to a 5" soft jerk. My other rod was my 5'6" dippin stick w/ a 3/4oz slider sinker, red glass bead and an Offshore Angler Cajun Crab. It was really dead for a while. I got my first 'hello's' about 1:20, but the hits were sloppy and I wasn't able to hook anything.
1:30 I took a break and ate lunch before headin out a little deeper. I started again off the parking right before you hit the walkway to the jetti. I saw three vehicles, 2 trucks and a geo metro type car way out on the beach. I was quickly informed by a young kid that somebody in the geo lookin thing tried to bonzai the beach and...got stuck. The trucks were his brother and friend trying to help the guy out.
A couple bites here and there as I kept workin out deeper. Finally I got a solid hook up on the dippin stick as I was workin a hole to my left. It was a decent 14" Black Rockfish that I was stoked to keep. I was workin another spot a little further up with my 7'9" when I hooked up on another Black just a little bigger than the first, kept it too. It was gettin pretty close to quittin time so I decided to end it by the truck with no more hook ups.

Happy New Year!
