Big Skate from the surf.

Post up you skate's

Hey folks,  was out at Caspar Beach south of fortbragg today and was trying my hand at a little surf fishing since the swells were kind of gnarly today for the kayak..

I ended up catching a few sculpin and used one for bait.  Well ended up getting this guy.  My first one.   BIG Skate,  fun fish to catch and release..

Cool!

Cool fish I’ve never caught one of those before!

Nice catch!

I 8 skate wing b4 and it was surprisingly good. Cartilaginous fillet, kinda flaky n mild.
