As there is no public access to my other spot and both the pier and dock I usually fish are destroyed, Polk St has become my current go to spot. Snuck out after work yesterday afternoon and today for some fishing. Lots and lots of good sized (10-11") whiting both days. Doubles all day today. Fresh off the boat local shrimp for bait.
Nothing on the glory rod yesterday but I did get to meet Achorite and it's always nice to be able to put a face to the words on the screen. Today I scaled down bait on the glory rod for a better chance at a hook up after getting robbed but something out there was smarter than me and figured out how to have an all you can eat buffet no matter what I tried. Even crabs usually can't eat that much around the hook with out touching it. Oh well.
Haven't caught a ray lately and while that would normally make me happy, especially after a car hood Southern smoked the drag on me last week taking one of my fav reels out of service pending replacement parts from Penn, but the slimies have made up for it. One small sail cat yesterday and two stupid, super tangled eels today. Still happy to be able to put meat back in the freezers since I lost everything after over a week with no power, hopefully a deer will be joining the fish soon.
Today's haul stacked deep:
ETA: Forgot to mention, lately I have been having to cast much farther than usual. In the wash I get robbed, croakers or tiny baby whiting but slinging it out far is where I'm getting the keepers.
