Got to the beach at probably 1:30 5 miles down and set up camp.
Water was super clear and tide was low. Surf was under 1 foot. no breakers on the third bar. Beautiful day.
Had shrimp, fish bites, crab, frozen mullet and a frozen pomp.

Started with with running half a pomp out ~400 yards
cut mullet ~300 yards
and casted out cut mullet and shrimp.

Got absolutely no bites for 4 hours but i decided to wait it out for night.
Finally about 30 min after sunset I got a bite on cut mullet. Turned out to be a small 3.5foot shark. Better than nothing
Before sunset I decided to run out cracked crab about 350 yards and about an hour after sunset got a nice run on the crab. Felt like a real nice fish and fought it all the way to the second bar where he decided to make his first real run and seconds later the hook popped out. No line cut or knot failure, just the circle hook popping out somehow. I was disappointed to say the least after putting in the work all day. Probably black drum?

Around 830 my big rod with the pomp starts clicking. I set the drag and im on. Reel in all those yards of mono and there's a shark on the beach. 68inches. Sandbar I think? My first shark of any mass and I was quite unimpressed with the fight he put up. Just felt like reeling in dead weight. Going to have to hook up on some bigger specimens.

The key seemed to be low light conditions probably because the water was so clear and the water was so calm.

Thanks for the report. Nick Meyer said it was REALLY slow.
