Drove down for the first jetty trip of the year after seeing a nice weather window. I had just gotten a good jetty fly set up I was really wanting to break in. We arrived to a strong NW wind that had the south surf side flat and clear.

Spanish were busting rain minnows everywhere. Literally, everywhere. Surf and channel, as far as you could see. They were busting as far as the ferry landing down the channel. A small school of bonito jumped in the action for a little bit, but disappeared quickly.

Jacks were making the rounds but being picky as hell. I had never met a picky jack before... till now. Finally managed one on the 10 wt.

And my dad got a random redfish.

Met a guy out there that was really cool and I was able to get some shots and video of him fighting a jack.

Good start to the year, and any time on granite is time well spent.

That's cool Brandon. Never got a jack on my fly rod. Biggest thing I got was a 28" red. I was in the flats and didn't have to worry about hooking rocks or fellow fishermen.

Hell yes. I'm busy til May, but I can't wait to hit PINS with the fly rod in hand. Sharks have been on the back burner as of late...really wanting to play with salt species on the fly.
