When someone goes to the beach, they most likely sunbathe, swim, build a castle in the sand. When I went several weeks ago, I fished! It was surf fishing to be precise. Surf fishing is pretty much just going into the surf, from the beach, and casting into the waves.


Whiting

Speckled Trout

 
On my surf fishing experience, I caught five fish. Four out of the five where a fish called "Whiting", they are a quite common catch. The odd fish out was a "Speckled Trout". This trout had some serious teeth. You could tell he/she was a predatory fish.

It was actually difficult to know if a fish was on the line. The waves constantly pounded the line so it was impossible to tell if a fish was biting or the waves were moving your bait. Several times, I reeled in my rig only to find that nothing had taken my bait. When they did bite it was subtle and quick.

At the end of the trip I had broken one of my rigs and two of my reels. All easily fixable with the proper tools, but still a pain. Even with my technical troubles, I still had fun and I still caught fish.
