Mike finally got a reel for his surf fishing rod.
|
|
|
|
Time to load it up with some fishing line.
|
|
|
|
okay... The rod is ready... Now we need to think about bait.
|
|
|
|
Throwing a cast net takes some practice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lots of practice...
|
|
|
|
The idea is to catch your own bait with the cast net.
|
|
|
|
Mike's friend Kerry takes a stab at the cast net.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, Mike starts to "get it."
|
|
|
|
|
Nice throw... good deployment.
|
|
|
|
Andie takes a stab at it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
and does pretty good
|
|
|
|
A perfect thow.
|
|
|
|
Do we have to get up this early?
|
|
|
|
Too early for even the bait... Kerry brings the cast net back empty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The surf was perfect for fishing...
|
|
|
|
Pre-dawn...
|
|
|
|
Time to get serious about fishing.
|
|
|
|
Casting into the sunrise...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mike is officially "fishing."
|
|
|
|
Not necessarily catchin’, just fishin’…
|
|
|
|
and more "fishing"...
|
|
|
|
Mike decides to try the cast net. We need "real" bait.
|
|
|
|
|
|
After a furry of activity (so much that we didn't take a picture)... Mike fills an Orange Depot bucket with Spanish Sardines.
|
|
|
|
Now we have real bait...
|
|
|
|
and real fish...
|
|
|
|
First trip out, Mike catches a Spanish Mackerel.
