Salona Beach Surf Report 4th of July

[Robert]

I met up with Bob, (Beachem) and Jackie at Salona Beach around 6:00 A.M.
Suprisingly there weren't that many people there yet, just a few surfers.
It was overcast and the water was really skinny. Me moved around a bit.
We saw a corbina in shallow that took off when it noticed us. I tried the morf grub, fish crack, and the Gulp sandcrab for no takers. I found a sandcrab bed and dug a few up.



I landed this nice 13" yellowfin croaker on the first cast with the sandcrab.
It started to rain a little bit. You wouldn't think it would rain on the 4th of July. We fished till about 8:00 for not much else and called it a morning. It was nice to get out and wet a line with some good freinds, even if the fishing was a little slow.

Congrats on the fishing you guys.

Bob,
I took the hypalon off the 708 with the bad reel seat, now I have to remove the old reel seat. I have a dremel at home, do you think if I cut the seat longitudinally in 4 cuts, I may be able to hit it on the belt sander and save the blank? I don't need to get it perfect as I can relocate the seat forward a few inches and not cause a problem, and would use a longer piece of rear hypo and cover where the original seat location was. Whadda 'ya think?
