Wife and kids were away. Left all to myself what should I do - GO FISHING!
Friday Night WE2 from about 6-8
Tough Night - Wind blowing 23 on shore (So the App said) Waves were 4-6 I knew it was gonna be a tough night. But since I was there - I strapped on 2oz and a white gulp 4 inch mullet and started casting. Got Plenty of distance, so the wind wasn't a problem, but the Fish biting was a problem. Grinding for quite a while for a single short fluke, He at least it wasn't a skink!
Sunday Morning WE from 7-10
OMG could not have been any nicer of a morning - Just 70 degrees. Wind out of the north at maybe 2 or 3. The water as just rolling except where the bars were, waves maybe 2-3 and just sliding up the shore....But the beach lip was there. So again I put on 2oz and the white gulp mullet. this was a totally different day. Lots of short fluke about 20 in all. and I only walked about 1/2 way to the jetty. There were bars and cuts and holes all over, just had to know what to look for and every time I found a fish!. Then it just got to easy. Switch to a 1oz green jig with a plastic green squid. and still caught, but this time it was a blue fish and another short fluke.
Let me tell you that narrow path to get down to the beach, between the Piping Plover nesting areas is a god send. The firm ground makes the walk so much easier than trudging down the main pathway. Used to stay away from the West End, just because of the walk - now it's not so bad and the beach lip has been there, unlike Field 6.
Damn I love a good few days of catching and not fishing!
