This is my first surf report in quite awhile. My cousin and I got to the beach around 6 AM and set up. We quickly caught a couple ladyfish and deployed those on our heavier rods hoping for a shark. Had a lot of fun with light tackle and the ladyfish, but we did want something for the cooler. With the slick conditions I ended up sightfishing. I managed one legal pomp(12.75") several yearlings that were a little short and a few nice whiting. The funny thing was that the whiting were in schools and crusing the beach much like the pomps were. They weren't moving slowly, instead they were actively covering water. Anyway as the wind shifted around 9 the weed started pushing in around us. We did get a shark to bite( a spinner around 130#) but he jumped, wrapped up in the line, and took off tail whipping and subsequently breaking my wind-on leader. We left around 11...all in all it was a very nice morning on the beach.

Tight lines,
