went out again today. checked the trestle/marshes, nuthin. So I drove to the state park and walked down the jetty. Saw a few fish splashin' on top, but was unable to snag one. I think they were blues. The tide was really coming in, so I got off the jetty and tried surfcasting to about the 3rd wave. Couldnt get a hit with a plug or herring, so I left. Then I took a long drive up the coast cuz it started raining. Picked out a few spots I am going to try tomorrow, one in North Hampton, and one in New Castle. The wind also started in, so it was probably a good time to take the drive lol.

I also wanna try a needlefish lure. I hear they are the #^&#^&#^&#^&. Any opinions on them? I've never used one yet. I myself have had minimal results with lures, I have had better luck with chunk herring, live mackeral, bloodworms, and clams. I have had zero luck with chunk mackeral though lol.
