Last night, caught a nice trout and red on Electric Buzzards and Space Guppies. Also hooked a couple really big flounder but both spit the jig on me, one of which went whistling past my ear like a bullet.
Went back tonight after work, armed with some beer a couple appreciative customers gave me and started off throwing throwing Rootbeer/Gold Assasisns and caught two 17" reds right off the bat. Then they stopped hitting those and I switched over to a split tail minnow in an Opening Night color and caught a fat trout and another red. After that, it got darker and I switched over to the Space Guppie. Caught one small flounder and then the bite stopped. Ronnie caught a nice trout and three reds throwing a chartreuse minnow. All fish except the trout were released, the trout went to the icy depths of his cooler. The reds were all in the 15-19" range, and the trout were 15-18".
Also watched mink running up down the bank right behind me. This one went into the water and came back about 5 minutes later with a big toadfish in his mouth. Good for him!
Tomorrow, we're going for big reds. Can't wait to test out my new 12' Tsunami XH surf rod.
