LOL The third time someone snagged my line I was done and walked off. Gets crazy out there for some fish. A comical moment was a mugger right next to me had a $1000+ set up, Van Staal with 10.5ft custom, $600 waders, and that's all he bragged about. The crowds have thinned here in December, finally. it's some sort of divine justice at work when a guy like that skunks out.

Borneo Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 NoMoCo - Tuesday late morning to afternoon. Beautiful conditions. Fished 3 different beaches and found fish on 2 of them. Caught a handful of schoolies frm 18 to 22 ". Very typical of my recent outings. The fish can be picky at times. I have been throwing smaller plugs, 4" shads, and Ava's with green tails. Weather permitting, I'll be out there while it lasts. Basswiper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw someone exactly like you explained to a "T", but who was afraid to get his feet wet and was running up and down the surf line as the water came in and receded back down. I'm all for fisherman, beginner or experienced, having the best gear they can possibly afford. It would be silly to think otherwise. But whats up with the surf top, simms waders plus a submersible reel if you're worried about getting your boots wet? I really thought I was seeing things at first. Hows the water looking today fellas? It was almost zero vis last friday where I fished. Tea colored and sandy. I went south looking for cleaner water and it got worse - wayyy worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a night in AC, 25 degrees and windy and the water was CHOCOLATE, but I caught 4 bass 15-30 lbs. I miss fishing those jetties. Bass will find the lure if they are around.

Gatr522 Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Snow on the ground in S MOCO last night. Pretty calm considering the wind forecast. Only worked 4 rock piles and ended with 8 between us. All shorts but we took the ride to have something pull some line. Nice to be out.

No little teaser so didn't catch any of them. Spin rod guys were scoreless casting to far and rushing their retrieve. JerseyMike609 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
