Morro Rock 12/11, Non Yak

I was looking at the tide chart for Morro Bay along with the beach cam and figured the conditions were too nice to pass up. So I hit the beach. I arrived just after the low tide, later than I wanted to. I managed a couple of little perch in the first hour or two. I got a report from a surfer/fly fisherman that I needed to tie on a deceiver and hit the rock because there were some stripers schooled up close.  :  You have to check it out right? I never saw any stripers but did spot lots of leopard sharks, makes you wonder. By now there was lots of shade from the rock on the water and I decided to fish the rips that were between the shade and the sunny water. Bingo! I found the fish.  The fishing only got better as the sun got lower. I fished one rip from 3:30 till near dark. The bite was wide open, with most fish in the 6-10" range. This is the third double in a row, with back to back casts.
 A fish of a different color. 
 Hot flies for the afternoon the Morro Comet and the Root Beer Sink.
 What a great way to end a day. 

  Total fish count minimum 60 probably way more, every cast was attacked. 7 sets of doubles , not counting foul hooked fish.

sounds like a great afternoon, thanks for sharing, love the sunset shot, cameron

Welcome aboard and thanks for the report + pictures Pozo FlyChucker.

Sweet, looks awesome. Those flies are very nice too. What setup are you throwing in the surf?

I am using an 8 wt with integrated sinking tip, intermediate running line. I have been using three feet of 15 lb to a small three way swivel. Then six inches of 20 lb mono on one side and three feet of 8 pound mono on the remaining side. The 20 lb helps keep the top fly away from the 8 lb leader.
This is similar in concept I believe to Ken Hanley's rig, he uses a single swivel with dropper loops and sometimes a third fly. The rig I use is an adaptaion of the rig taught to me by a fishing buddy down in San Diego Bay with great success. (Thanks Richard C.)

Nice reports and pics, brings back great memories of the Rock!

Nice going, glad to see they are around.  I might have to make a trip to the surf this weekend for some perch action.

I use a three fly system with dropper loops, no swivels.

what a cool report! Love the sundown-twilight time, the lighting is fantastic.

Thanks for the info, I'll have to give that a shot. I do the dropper loop thing but not a big fan of that knot, quit using it altogether on the yak after losing a couple of big lings.  SPRO makes some small swivels that would probably good for this.
