At assateague state park

Post by Homebrew »

Ponies have not stopped working.

Tomorrow, I'll see if the fish stopped biting when the gubment shut down.

I always liked the federal Park side better, but nice place nonetheless. Did you know they give birth control to the ponies? I shirt you not..

Check the Rutgers data(if Obama hasn't shut that down too). The TS may have pushed in some cold water which pushes the redfish out.

I'll be lucky to cast. Winds going to be high and I'm using an old multiplier. Perhaps I'll surf with Swayze.

Seriously, I'll see what I can catch tomorrow. Nice idea about catching bait. I brought some packaged fingerling mullet as a baseline with plent of salt water lures.

Marching up the food chain is how you match the hatch while saltwater fishing. It gives me the best results, but a couple buddies got 1 and 2 trophy drum respectively on frozen finger mullet during the last blow. It was hard throwing out, but they got what they were looking for.

Or you can cheat and get a cast net. If have a couple buckets with bubble boxes. Will throw out the minnow trap for bull minnows and the cast net for mullet, bunker, etc. The bubble box will keep them alive for a day. Makes for the freshest bait out there;)

Waves very heavy today 5 oz pyramid sinkers were not cutting it. No bites on mullet, but I was dealing with 20 mph winds and the waves.

Man up and throw a 10 :)

My biggest heaver can throw 12 and bait:) But I want a Nail, it can literally throw a brick, it's pure carbon fiber, a rod for this situation.

What can I say, hadn't surf casted since Hawaii. Tackle box was sparse. Didn't need heavy weights in Hawaii.

30mph winds today, it was a sandstorm when I left.

I've fished in hurricane conditions before. We threw a 5, the wind lifted it and brought it back at us! It was a 100 yard cast that landed 10 feet in front of me. I started side arming to keep under the wind.

. Left early. 30mph sustained winds made tent camping a chore. May try some pier fishing this weekend in the bay.

What bay piers are that far north? Sandy Point ain't bad, but is snag city.

North point state park has a 1000 ft pier. I may take the kayak into the Severn on Sunday to see if Stripers have moved into the river.
