The surf was a bit too rough for me to sit and fish from the yak, so I settled for running out baits and spending most of the time on the sand with with family. My mom and wife both caught their first BRs- that was exciting. We ended up with 11 bull reds, 2 sharks (1 blacktip, 1 Bull), and 1 slot red that ended up on the dinner plate saturday night (blackened).
All of the BRs were caught between 8-10ft of water on cut mullet and whiting. We didn't have any luck on crab. I sat in a kayak for a couple of hours on saturday and sunday fishing between 10-12ft and didn't have any luck. The one lone BR I landed in my kayak was in 9ft.
Saturday and Sunday we had groups fishing next to us casting live baits out into the first and second guts catching slot reds and trout. Our lone slot red came from a live mullet cast into the 2nd gut (6ft).
