With very rough seas it was far too dangerous to go out spinning in search of Sea bass so Gonzalo, Mirelle and myself decided to do a little surf casting. The beach is called "Santa Cristina" and is 10 mins away from home. Having breakers and being the mouth of an estuary it's calm waters makes it very popular in summer for families but at this time of year we practically had the place to ourselves. No wind and very mild weather gave for a very easy and relaxed afternoon.
We took one rod each and had some catching up to do as Gonzalo and Mirelle live in Vigo, which is in the south of the region bordering with Portugal, and it had been some time since I'd seen them.
A couple of beers and snacks with more than a few laughs. The only catch of the evening was a small Sea-bream caught by yours truly, of course, that was returned to it's friends unharmed. The beach has some excellent Gilt headed bream in summer and the occasional mega sea bass. A couple of years ago an 11 kg example was caught with blood worm but on this particular occasion it wasn't to be.
Happy Fishing
Nice report - at least you're out braving the weather, more than can be said for myself!
