Braved the conditions on 9-5 and 9-6 AM @ the Chesapeake Beach honey hole.
NNW winds gusting up to 20 mph made lite tackle almost a joke.Chest to head waves crashing while anke deep in the surf made sense to use the 11 and 12 footers.
Used 6 oz tongue weights to barely get 75 yards out.Fisg finder rigs with size 4/0 circle hooks baited with premium large squid and freshly brined blue fish steaks were the bait of choice.
Hooked up to 4 nice croakers(my biggest of the year)On Suday morning.All nearing citaion weight(3lbs)Did weigh 1 @ Ocean east2,but missed it by 1/4 oz.Man wish I did't wash all that sand off him
.
All in all not too shabby for the conditions dealt.Really wanted to practice catchin some stripers but he did not want to co operate.
Only fished the early am for 4 hours.With all that head wind I am blessed I did not have any blow ups with the SLH30 and the 525MAG.
