South Shore Inshore Sweep on the orange weight!

The flats were calm with light Kona winds and overcast skies. Tide was too low for the surfboard so I walked it.

Great day to try the  weights painted orange to resemble the eggs of sand turtles.

After 45 mins of inactivity I gave the orange weight 5 more casts before changing back to the regular red color, and boom, an almost legal omilu hit.

Not sure if the orange color helped but it didn’t seem to hurt.

 

Decided to catch, photograph and release (CPR) so the fish were alive and moving when I took their pics.
