Couldn’t help myself yesterday and went to wet a line for an hour. Light S wind, into dusk, dropping tide. Low expectations, saw swirls around and sight casted. Turned out to be big bunka’ and snagged a few. As it got darker a decent school of them came in shallow but didn't seem harassed. Nada.

No Sir. Tried ‘em’ first when we went to SC last year, nada and forgot about em during the fall.
-
Agreed. Had ‘em’ last year. They were on clearance at Dicks a while back. Picked up a few with different lengths and weights.

Happy New Year All, I hope everyone had a great holiday. Limited outings since Xmas Eve due to festivities and car trouble. Unfortunately, I finished up 2023 weak and stinky. I’m in the market for a new ride so my limited outings continue into 2024. Tight lines SOL!

Late report from yesterday: Dusk to dark quick outing. Beautiful conditions. Light westerly, nice sudsy clean water. Picked up 3 to 26”. Lost 1 in the wash. 2 took the sand eel and 2 took the RU teaser.
-
Late report from yesterday evening. Also gave it a shot on the outgoing at sunset/dusk. I don’t know if it’s all over but on the stretch I hit, all the structure re-established during the fall is all filled in. Flat all the way out. Hit out back too but the combination of the healthy westerly and outgoing had the current rippin’!
-
Overslept but made it out mid morning. 2 spots. Moderate easterly, middle of incoming, nice sudsy surf with big water. First spot nada. 2nd spot slow picked 8 up to 27” on mainly red Ava. 1 on the teaser.
-
Slow week for me with limited outings and narrowly missing skunks with rats. Off today, so I was able to meander a bit. Pre sunrise, nice westerly, flat ocean. 1 chunky schoolie right before the sun came up. Spent more time than I should have at that spot. Took a break and went back to recon the beaches. Saw birds and boats and as I was parking an angler was walking off with a bass and said they were moving north. Made a move north to intercept. Bait was getting pushed close to the beach. It didn’t seem like bunker or peanuts and they definitely weren’t sand eels. Then someone said herring. Got a nice 34” on the popper. After the release the fish were gone. Saw more birds north and chased. Bad choice. The birds were too far with no predators. Decided to head back to the barn. Grabbed some lunch and was farting around when the call came in. Headed back out but was too late. Beginning of incoming and way out on the bar. Was able to grab a 28”on the popper to make the drive worth it. Limited to the AM tomorrow.
-
Slow week, limited outings front and back. Just a rat earlier in the week and a 26” this AM on the teaser. I was hoping for a pre storm bite this AM. Seems it was later.

Late weekend report: Friday - AM slow 2 spots. Doubled up as I was leaving and broke off the jig but landed the fish on the teaser. Late to the bite in the PM. Thought I was smart thinking the fish would head south. But they ended up staying north. Sat: Was only able to get out for the PM bite. Small dink on the white paddle tail This AM, 2 dinks on the Ava and a small shad on the teaser. Spicy conditions
-
Afternoon dusk bite. Beginning of incoming, moderate gusty S blowing. Nothing going on locally after work, so I headed a little north and found a party. Walked on to a spot that was open and didnt have to move. At first they were way out but reachable with poppers. It was fish on right away and every cast for a bit. Slowed and went to the BT as the wind was gusting. We were about to leave and noticed birds at end of range and heaved out again and it was game on until about dusk when it died. Lost 2 big fish. Had the trailer hook ripped off my bottle neck. But ended up with 20+ fish from 26”-35”. I heard the bigger fish were there earlier. Anyway, another great season continues. Back at it tomorrow.

Just like @Inshore said. Today was bananas. Pre sunrise, variable W wind, flat ocean, end of incoming. Lots of life out there. Mix of quarter size peanuts to adult bunker in the wash. We even saw a black fish cruising the lip. Started with the Ava and teaser. Immediately doubled up twice in a row. I doubled up again but the leader broke this time. Lost the Ava but still had the teaser and fish on it. Wasn’t getting any hits after switching to another Ava. Made a move and got several more on shads. That slowed and saw guys catching on sand eel paddle tails. Changed to the tsunami and caught more for awhile then changed to a BT. The stretch died after awhile and made another move. They were at the end of casting range and slapped on the popper and basically went with top water for the remainder of the day. Ended with about 40+ fish.

Slept in to get a little rest this AM and was late to this afternoon’s bite. Took the skunk today.
-
Traveled south to find a big swell and stained water. Beginning of outgoing, WNW. Walked a bit. Found 1 small in the low 20s” on the Ava. Slow pick all around. Fish here and there landed. Will take a peek later after my flu shot.
-
I wasn’t supposed to go out for the afternoon bite as The Empress had dinner plans for us. But I got ‘The Call’ and promised I’d be back in time. Beginning of outgoing, light NW. Got to my spot north of the picket fence where it wasn’t so crowded. A little late but still had fun. Peanuts were the fare. Top water when I first got there but then they went under as dusk approached. Only landed 7 but dropped a bunch. 26”-29”. Felt bad for one of the smaller fish. I gill hooked it but didn’t bleed too much. It just took a lil’ bit to get the hook out. However, it swam away strong so hopefully it has a chance. Made it home in time to grab one last dinner together with the fam before my baby has to go back to school tomorrow. I’ll be limited to the AM as we have to drop her off at the airport later in the day.
