Wind Go Away

[Hunter704]

Headed out with Frank P the morning in hopes of getting in on some hot Fluke fishing. Made a stop in the canal and one toss I had enough peanut bunker for us. Got to the inlet area and sent them down, found hungry fat shorts in the 18”to 19” couldn’t connect with a decent fish. Made a move to the sore thumb area and there was a boat with spot lock zeroed in on them. Along with two captree boats again no keepers just shorts we both had what felt like decent fish with landing either one. Watching the captree boats the action was in the bow as they had the nose up close to the rocks wind and tide absolutely no help. If you weren’t tight to rocks in the one spot nothing happened. I couldn’t believe the amount fish coming up in a small area. After awhile of not being able to get up close enough moved on. Again wind and tide had us moving, made a stop by Moses bridge few more shorts and called it day. Emptied the live well what was left and wished those little peanuts luck as that’s out of their league out there. Heading upstate tomorrow check out the woods for two days maybe back fishing Friday.

I just checked my log. September 13 was the last time I kayak fished without the everpresent effing easterly winds. Haven't tried again since the 15th, just went out on the tandem with SWMBO. Have surfcasted a couple of times a week or two ago for dismal results. Might give it a go tomorrow (from the beach.) What ever happened to
"prevailing westerlies?"
Regarding Bambi, I wait until the first frost or two. Venison is not worth all those potential tick diseases, not to me.
