Hit the creek last night for an hour between 830- 930. Casted lures the entire time. Then I had to run home and take a shower to wash the skunk smell off myself.

I don't know what it is but I have not had any luck out there this fall. My last trip cost me 3 mirror lures in 15min and I gave up.

thats almost paying 1 dollar something a minute to fish!

CDog, I haven't fished that area much this year as I have only caught croakers out there but I did get really nice 25"er or so out of there last week along with a 18-19" dink. I casted for a couple of hours for em though. Has anyone ever tossed some bunker in that area? It looks prime for that, especially at night but I haven't tried it. I thought I may get at least a bite last night as the current was running good but nada. Better luck next time....

You guys are doing it wrong!

Got your text Ben. I may try to get out there tonight for a while, but haven't looked at the tides yet, so I ain't sure. If the tide is what I'm thinking it will be I'll be somewhere else. Usually if it's windy out there I don't catch squat. If Digger is lurking around, he might be able to shed some light on why that is since he's been fishing there much longer than I have. The past two times I've been out there the wind was whipping and I got not so much as a bump, but if the wind is light, and the tide is right.

Clay, Bishops has 5 PD's and 5 NS's coming in soon. I talked to John the other day and he ordered them for me. Just FYI.

Depends on which way the winds are blowing not how much.

get some bunker and lets hit Yorktown from the canoe!

I'll say it's clean, cleaner than clean. Last time we were there, I remarked that there was absolutely no trash any where, not even a ciggy butt on the ground. I figure there was a crew of little people or robots or something that grabbed the trash as soon as it hit the ground and then scurried away somewhere. It's looks a little like Disneyland there.

Absolutely, but I should have been a little clearer. On nights where there is a favorible wind blowing, if it's very strong, say 15-20+, they don't seem to chew as much as if it's a lighter wind of about 5-15. That's been something consistent I've noticed over the last year or so. In a lot of other places if the water is snotty and choppy, I do well with rockfish, but for some reason that hasn't panned out there.

Wrong lure grasshopper.

Wrong lure grasshopper.

It was definately the wrong something. Something not good. Not good at all... I was forced to go home and :beer: Whats the deal with the wind? Don't fish fish on opposing tides? ie. ebb tie with a N-NE wind hummin? As far as lures go I was tossing a dark green gulp mullet flavored (mmmmm. gooood). It produced the last trip. Anyway, the fionce was tossing a glow paddle with a green tail that also produced last trip out. They were both your average 3-4" with 3/8o.z leadhead. And it was peak current. Oh well, if the wind cooperates I'm gonna say to hell with that and try to hit the highrise Friday night for some moocows.
