And Now Some Perch From Dog Beach 10/20
« on: October 20, 2023, 03:23:56 PM »
0700-0900. 5-10mph wind for first hour, foggy. Sun came out and wind chilled a bit around 0800. 3 other fishermen besides Tommy and I, recognized one from the Central Park lake a few months ago and said hi. Plenty of surfers out but no serious issue.

3 distinct model perch for me on crack up to almost 12", a skunk busting savior for Tommy on a grub. Pretty nice troughs and holes mid-tide, solid downhill current.

Seems like the surfers around here do not give any f@cks about hopping into the water right next to us with our line in. Literally happens 3-5 times per session. As long as they don't get hooked, or they don't bitch when they get hooked, I'll c o - e x i s t. I don't know much about surfing but...well I don't think they do either.







5 times surf fishing in 8 days! 7 trips total in 9 days. Resetting my sleep schedule is paying off. I won't overload the shore fishing section with skunks but might inspire ya'll to join me in a c-rig revival. Been so long since I really went at it that it feels fresh and I'm picking up on little things, not even all fishing related, that are making it a nice regular experience. Now if only a bean would show up once and for all!

That's why I call my surf rods the "Idiot Beacons".  Problem is there are few beacons and tons of idiots.
You can't catch them from your computer chair.
