We went surf fishing on the playa again this morning. Sunrise is such a great time to be out there. It is cool and the waves are calm. Bait fish were everywhere, but very few birds, and no predator fish, at least that we could find.
I fished and talked with Don while this snowy egret caught bait fish after bait fish. Every wave it would nip down into the surf and pick up a wiggly morsel to eat. I watched it feeding as much as I watched my own line.
We moved up and down the beach following the schools of sardines. The birds that were feeding signaled the location. Every once in a while the little fish would break the surface in a frenzy; we would cast into the turmoil just to reel in once again empty.
Tomorrow we go back out onto the ocean to hunt for the big guys.
