I haven't been posting much about the beachfront this week because I'm still not 100% recovered from a back injury two weeks ago in Port Mansfield.
I've fished off and on this week for short periods and caught good fish, mostly on 51MR's and a few on tops.
The SSE wind came up today, and this afternoon the beachfront is choppy and sandy close in, with some small surf. Green past the third bar, fairly green with streaks in the second gut, and sandy with maybe 12" vis. in close.
It's still fishable and should continue to be as long as we're getting light SSE winds.
The forcast is for a more S & SW to the winds tonight and tomorrow which could mess up things.
Anyway I went out this afternoon between 3:00-4:00 throwing a 51MR. There were tons of mullet rafting and butterfish flipping around. Pelicans and seagulls began working past the second bar, and something big was blasting across the outside(I saw some sharks get airborn).
I was casting parallel to the beach along the outside edge of the second bar and the sandy change, and walking East casting with the wind.
Cast after cast and nothing, then at the end of a cast ( why do they always do this to me)LOL maybe ten feet out, a big trout came up and grabbed the lure.
She shook in slow motion like a big dog and made several good runs before I put the grab on her. It was a nice fish 5-6#'s, released.
I fished for maybe 20 more minutes with nothing.
BTW There was a minor feeding period aroud 3:00 and the fish hit about 3:30.
I may go back out later for a while if my back can take it.........fishing always makes it feel better. LOL
