just another early local morning surf session with the boys…

got to walk the beach this morning with a couple of buddies. my left arm is undergoing some physical therapy so I decide to just stick to taking pictures and not wave the long rod. nice conditions, clean water, warm weather. the tide was not the best, it was a falling tide into the low. we did see a nice pod of corbina in shallow water, but they spooked out and vanished right after we stumbled upon them. a good sign that the fish are beginning to be active and finding the sand crab beds. the boys landed  a bunch perch to 12 inches and one yellowfin croaker. unfortunately no halibut…afterwards we enjoyed a nice breakfast together, Jim gave us a lesson in music theory and after a few laughs later I was off to work. what a great way to start the day!
