Surf fishing last weekend

Last weekend at Edisto was beautiful. It was sunny on Saturday, about 76 degrees, and the water is still warm enough to swim in. I spent the day on the beach fishing. I decided to go at it pretty hard, so I set up 4 fishing poles to use all at once. I wanted to get as much action as I could. There was one other guy on the beach about 100 yards north of me. Other than the two of us, there was nobody there. We had the beach all to ourselves.

When I finally decided to call it a day (about 5 hours fishing), I had caught 7 bluefish and 4 whiting. The guy just up the beach from me pulled in a half dozen spotted seatrout and a big flounder. (Catching flounder in the surf is a bit unusual.) I saw him the next day and he told me the flounder tasted so good when he fried it up. (I was jealous - flounder is my favorite fish.)

It was a great day.

Here are some sample pictures of the fish we caught. These are not the actual fish we caught. I couldn't take any pictures because my camera is broken. (I have an unfortunate habit of dropping digital cameras on hard surfaces.)
