my neighbor is from Oregon and after finding out how much i like to fish went and got a license on the 1st and its been on ever since.... well the fishing has been on, not so much on the catching. just for reference in sizes he's about 5'11" and 180 and im 6'7" and 235

took him to MB to find some bass and got into some behind sea world.

his first spottie. about 12"

after that i showed him pics of my surf fishing adventures and catching leopards, shovels, rays, hali's and all those fish and he wanted to get into it. well its been slow so we decided to get him a good spinning set up and get on some rays in the bay.

first outting was hopeless, second or third i kept getting hits, landed 2, biggest was 43" (pictured) and his went untouched. so we kept at it and after a couple trips we got it dialed in and were getting hit right off the bat... but no hook ups. even though we started late that night i was sure he'd finally get his, and he did. a 37 incher on a spinner and 17lb mono. he borrowed that rod from me so he'd have a better chance at hooking up with two rods, so his has still gone fishless. we have to break that curse.

next were going to hit the surf now that its warming up and get some shovels and leos under his belt.

Way to get your buddy on some fish. Don't for the light tackle for some surf perch too.
