The Season- A Rundown 2023

Went out in west sound on kayak both sat and sun afternoon into dark. Water was...not clean. In fact, what I thought was leaves/weeds on surface was flows of lanternflys and flying ants/termites that likely launched because of the moon. It was like this 1.5 miles out. I managed a 5 inch striper, 1 oyster toad, and a couple of short strikes on a 6 inch plug that I think were just schoolies. Hopefully a few days without rain and the king tide current will let things clean up.

Practiced casting at a SE Nassau ocean beach this morning.  (I did actually put lures on the line to make it realistic.)  Due to erosion my beach was almost unrecognizeable.    No weed, no sweep, water clean and one hit in two hours around the high tide.  Watched three or more dolphins feeding out at the bar.  Just two other guys fishing on the entire stretch.  Absolutely gorgeous morning, sandals, shorts and a tee shirt.  Water had to be in low 70s.

I came down with a bug this past weekend but got out Sunday morning for a bit.

Water was brownish and I was picking up weed on the BT. Top water was fine with poppers and surface swimmers. Not a tap. 
Left after realizing I’m a nut job and should of stayed in bed. Glad I went anyway.

Went out last night 930-1030 very inshore on kayak. 7 schoolies/rats and one school bully. The bully was short, only like 25 inches, but 2x the size of any fish of comparable length and had lice.  I'm so far west in the sound it was a bit surprising to see what looked like a migrating fish already. 

 

Also, they were on smaller bait. Moving from a 4" to 6" swim shad of the same color and style stopped the bite.

I’ve apparently been at the wrong place/wrong time. Ventured out to the SS couple times over the last week late nights. Throwing bucktails, bottles, and minnows in the surf and inlet. A few taps but no hook ups. Guy next to me one night caught a one-off 30lb bass on a bottle, but otherwise not a lot of catching going on.  I will say that after marching through the mosquito infested dunes of the SS, I’ll never complain about the bugs in the Sound again lol. Feel like I need to get tested for malaria or yellow fever. 
 

Went out to one of my usual Far WLIS spots earlier today at high water. Very little bait visible since the storms the other week — no bird action and the big blues and decent schoolies that were around then seem to have all left to wherever the bait went. My magdarter was getting tapped aggressively and I was hoping that some cocktail blues were in. Instead, I hooked up into the smallest bass I’ve ever caught. This guy was barely bigger than the freaking MD:

took the e-bike out for a cruise with no rod yesterday. Was looking for bait and structure on the open beach. Was way out in no-mans land on the SS and found this poor slob. She was a fine fish I am sure.
