I fished yesterday morning with my friend Jim Solomon in Santa Monica, it was a glorious sunrise, perfect surf conditions, light wind and small surf, perfect match for the long rod and feathers. we walked and casted, walked and casted for a total of three perch between us. not a productive morning by fishing standards but a great morning never the less. got to see the sun come up and paint the sky. saw a seal doing the back stroke and lots of pelicans diving about a 1/2 mile off shore indicating there was fin bait, probably anchovies. beats sleeping! LOL
flies, sand & surf 
Thanks Al. I was feeling pretty poor about my 7 dink perch day in Newport Beach on Sunday, but you’ve now made me feel much better.
Keep fishing – Kevin
glad I was able to cheer ya up Kevin! grin!
