This mornings trip, fished from 2:45-7:30.
Beautiful weather.
Landed 4 bass and 1 blue, between 22 and 26 inches.
Missed a couple hits. Fun. (2 Bass in dark, others false dawn).
Surf Asylum Glider 3 bass, Orca top water for the other bass and blue.
4 trips there in 8 days, I am beat-up pretty good, would repeat in a heart beat, it is beautiful out there.

Great sunrise pics as always. Kudos for fishing away from where the cool kids have been casting.

Tried to beat the crowds today, wanted to fish out east at sunrise. Got up at 3am and was there by 4:10. No traffic, heavy rain. Too much of a punk to fish in it so went to sleep in the truck. Got up around noon, went to the beach and made a few casts. Got a decent blue about 30 incher and a striper 21 incher on bucktail. Left before any build up of traffic. Home now drowning a few cold brewskis. Be safe out there dudes!

You did much better than me. Beat the traffic and fished from 2:30 to 8:30 AM yesterday.
I just sucked.
Bad approach. Looked like Striper Water, only a couple fish caught where I was, no crowd.

Well thannks but I have been sucking wind out east. I made three trips at night and only got one short striper and some blues. Heard of some good action by the boats and was hoping with the bad weather it would be on! Well it definitely wasn't on for me that's for sure.

Out East again this morning, 2:15-8:15.
Lots of weed in close, expected it.
Couple bumps in dark, sun up 3 short bass up to ~26 inches.
One on an Orca, the other two on Matt Hoff's Mini Popper (silver).
Casts great with wind in face. Missed 3 good hits on it too....various reasons (LOL).
Great being out there, covered a good mile of shore.

Nice. I fished further west Sunday afternoon,hour around high tide. Picked up a few tailor blues and one short fluke on tins. Saw a lot of small whitebait and things like that in the surf line. Gonna happen any day now.
