May Day 5/1 Seal Beach
 

I had the family up here for the weekend. On Sunday we ate lunch at Ruby's on the end of Seal beach Pier and I could not help but notice the ankle slapping surf near the jetti. Decided to check it out this morning. don't have my truck up here just the van, so I stuffed a Mini X with 2 flushmounts from the rental fleet in the back and took a 6 and 12# rig along. A quick 5 minute drive and I unloaded right off the sand on dolphin street and parked around the corner. 50 yard drag to the waters edge. Scarey surf eh?

Regretted not bringing the sabiki as there was balled up bait as soon as I hit the water. Very fishy the whole time, scattered and balled up bait. The not even barely cudas were in abundance, managed a small calico on plastic and a sandie on the krock. this spot holds some serious promise, wish I could fish the upcoming grunion run, but not likely. Off the water at 8:30, showered and open for business at 9 AM.

Big question today is should I wear sandals to work or go barefoot:D

Nice pic's, I really enjoyed Seal when I lived there. I wish kayaks had been invented when I was there.

When I lived up there, a neighbor of mine, dressed with shorts only. Would grab 1 rod, 1 crock, a sixer of Coors Light, and hit the jetty. More often than not he wouldn't come home empty handed.

Your on a good spot there.

When I checked the beach in the morning I saw someone out in a kayak Must have been the Iceman. The best area to fish is tight to the jetty, the drop of holds some nice halibut that love plastics. Picked this one up yesterday shore fishing about where you launched. Measured 26"
