First Fish 2010!

May first, Jack and I hit the beach at 7:30am and walked to the mouth of the river. The schoolies were in small numbers, but fairly consistent. The only thing they seemed interested in chasing was a Yo Zuri minnow. I caught one about 20″ and a second measured at 29″. I love my new Flueger Supreme XT but the Tsunami Air Wave rod I paired it with is just a bit too long at 11′. I get a bit more distance, but it is harder on my forearms to action the lure and fight a fish. I’ll be pairing it with a shorter rod for normal surfcasting use.
