Surf 5/12

[LaddH]

Went looking in the surf yesterday at POC.
We were hoping to find some trout but no luck.
We did get 3 reds between 22 and 24 in., one of plastic two on dead shrimp.
It was a nice day and we had the beach to ourselves but the water color was off but fishable. It looked to have a lot of fresh water in it.
A few mullet were around.
I think the green water should show up soon. We need a good southeast wind for a couple of days.
Y'all don't laugh at my girly colored reel. The fish don't care.

We've got plenty of SE wind. Lol. The water will green up when the wind lets up, most likely under some high pressure, which cranks up with a summer pattern(and often a SW wind, lol). Memorial Day is the unofficial summer start, but normally we would have had 2-3 calm surf spells by now. The heat will soon be on...like in a week or so, and the bite will heat up, simultaneously, in that settled surf. Git bit!..

They're there. Some really big ones being caught from the beachfront piers but not in large numbers yet.

Cool fish. That thing must cast like a boomarang with two different weights. Take out a seagull with that. Try switching the hook and the weight so weight on the bottom and hook on the side =]

Well it started out as a regular egg slip weight above a hook but the current was dragging it around so I whipped out a spider weight and put it on a loop above the egg weight. Worked great. I can’t say I disagree with your advice but that is a redfish with a hook in his mouth. No seagulls were harmed in the casting of this unorthodox rig . Sometimes you go with a field expedient.
