surfboard fishing 100719 blogspot.com

Today I did not see anyone in the line-up from the cliffs.  I thought to myself:

"I will be alone out there.....soul surfer",  "No one but me and the sharks!"   Finally all alone.

and I started down the trail leading to the sea.

I got there on an incoming tide, and as soon as I put my stuff down to ready my next exclusive excursion.......a bunch of surf bandits came cruising down the cliff face and parked right next to me!!!!!

My soul-free lineup was now crowded and tripping and falling all over each other!  I was bummed.

I said:  "Naaaaaaaa!", and cursed my world, then got really HOT, then calmed down [anger blows out the lamp of mind].  Sometimes you just have to put on blinders, so I stuck my pole in my mouth and paddled hard through the line-up and made my way out past the breakers, avoiding the cattle drive on the inside.

No fish today.  On my way out I saw a big Corbina and a shovel-nose guitarfish, about 6-7 pounds, scared him off, but wow!  They were only in about a foot of water!  I could have jumped on them.  So close.

I learned today, to have patience.  I also learned to have some fun.

Sometimes you get to watch a big fish.....not worry about catching it.
