June 24th 2008, Rio del Mar
I went down to catch the evening bite at RDM last night. Wind was blowing pretty hard from my right when I got down there, but happily it reversed direction, then died down, allowing an evening of pleasant fly-casting. Lots of salad in the surf by the parking lot, so I switched to the floater (good conditions for it) while walking south. Had a few bumps, but nothing stuck. Kelp salad cleared down by where the cement wall starts, I switched back to the 30' T8 head + amnesia, and around sunset I got into a school of perch.
Sadly no striper for me tonight. A beautiful evening to be out, though. The floating line I used was a stiff RIO 8wt bonefish line. It seems to me that the tropical lines behave better in the line basket than the limper coldwater lines. I need to remember to dress that line though, so it will shoot better.
