Salt Water Shore Fishing Reports / Sunset Variety Hour 5/6
« on: May 06, 2024, 09:15:43 PM »
Made the effort and got out for an after work session. Met up with Tommy and almost all the other Charkbait employees.
Approximately 1700 start time. 10-20mph head wind to start and structure not filled in. Woof. Cherry on top was wind surfers flying over my line every minute or so. Got a croaker bite real quick out of one of the few holes, but the leader failed mid-line. Hmm. Could have bopped them on the head any time. Thankfully they got done jogging the same circles by 1715 and Tommy/friends arrived shortly after. I threw c-rig crack while they threw iron. I said hi to Tommy while the rest of the crew was well up the beach already. I nabbed a nice croaker.
Then a couple BSP about ye big.
Tommy left me in the dust, right when I nabbed a corbina!
The crew had all but abandoned me by this point, but I was slow to keep up because I was getting bit. Variety continued when I found a section full of wallies! Pretty good size ones in there too.
Ran out of gulp, moved to the grub with a little pro-cure. Lost my confidence with the grub a while ago but tonight renewed it. Bite didn't slow down as I nabbed a couple more WSP. Then the 10th fish of the night, jacksmelt. Why not!
Next fish up, f@ck it eh, come join the party! Queenfish!
Capped the evening with another solid YFC.
Caught up with the crew and they'd had a slow pick on croakers and beans the whole time. Stoked on a dozen total and 6 species.
Hope Tom is beating the wind and racking up the variety in Kauai!
