Last 2 weekends I concentrated on the S. Shore. Got a buddy who lives near the beach. Still and hour drive for me. Last weekend I threw everything at them, topwater, plugs, rubber, nada. For sh^ts and giggles I tossed on a white bucktail and started catching shorts. Was the only lure they'd hit (old reliable). Went back this past weekend with a few more bucktails on hand just in case. 3rd cast and I hook up with a short....as well as every other cast after that. Thinking there must be a bigger fish in the mix. Gave a bucktail to my buddy who caught an 18 lb fish within 10 casts. It was his best fish this year from shore....after being skunked 5+ times before yesterday.
I continued to catch a few more shorts, but once the sun came out the bite shut off. I kinda wished I had some clams to chunk. Might make another trip there....make a tog trip, then concentrate in So Co after that. I'll fish till Halloween then pack it in.
I was very surprised to not see any bluefish where we were.
