Report: went to the beach to try my luck, well it was cold and wet and the wind made it hard to see any bites so I may have missed one or two. Any bites where slow in coming which is not surprising as there was a large surf running. The fish all took the lazy lug and the other baits where not even touched, I tried all types of cocktails, each bait on its own but it was only when I used the lazy lug on the bottom hook that I got bites. Used some new gear that Santa left for me and the floatation suit keeps you warm and dry, the seat box was great for all my gear and for resting my feet. I decided to call it a day when casting into the wind I managed to get bird nests on both reels ( who said the Penn mag xtra was foolproof) which resulted in having to cut the new line on the millionaire. At the least my first trip of the new year wasn't a blank.
