Fished the OC beaches early Sunday afternoon around 70th Street. Water was warm but nasty, 5oz Hurricanes barely held bottom. Had a couple of small hits but landed no fish using both frozen spot for cut bait and finger mullet both chunked and whole. Nice to be on the water did hear "rumblings" of small puppy drum caught on plastics but I did not see it happen.
Am still convinced, that the best Fall fishing is yet to come and will be back soon. STRONGLY suggest that everyone have good quality bait BEFORE getting there.

Saw a 38" Striper caught from Fenwick Island
Took Monday off and went to my local landfill to recycle some stuff and there this guy with his surf rods and cooler on his truck pulling out this 38" Striper and giving it to this lady, who was working at the landfill enterance gate.
Any way he said he caught it Saturday in Fenwick Island, the first beach access before 3 R's.
I didn't know there a was an access to the beach before 3R's after leaving FI.

Orest,
Thanks for posting.
My trip to AI last Saturday produced only undersized trout (12"). Strong wind and light rain - 6 oz held well... There's always another trip around the corner - Hopefully next month...

Agree with ya Flea, but I see a stretch predicted of day time temps mid 50's and below with overnight lows from upper 30's to the upper 20's, temps up in Delaware a few degrees cooler both highs and lows, so based on that and my jonesing to hit AI, I feel the time has arrived. Only real negative I foresee is the predicted winds w and wnw but that minor obstacle I hope.

Seems an OK catching weekend even with the weather, cooler temps are on the way, so depending on winds, still calling for NW, I prefer NE, but I gots a good feeling for this little trip up coming. Personally be real happy to bring one home, but blood and phsychie tells me may come home with 2, winds be damned! If not, oh well I will have made that attempt.

O, Jeep may not be ready, so may end up driving the car, meeting with bro and getting on the beach via him. Don't care iffin I gotta walk to get where I gotta git, I gotta feeling the time is sooo close, may it, for my sake be close enough.
I'm also heading down this Thursday with the wife. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The weather is looking good. Winds out of the W and NW at 10-12 mph.
I want to pick AI fishermen's brains about the wind issue. I notice that Sand Flea likes the NE winds and so does Shaggy. Personnally I have never been able to make it out to AI when there is a NE wind, maybe this is why I havnt caught big fish??
I have been checking the weather site and none of them are predicting a NE wind any time soon. How often is there a NE wind? The experience I have is that N and S wind that goes parallel to the beach is not good.
