The last time I fishede there, ( two seasons back) I fished for three night in a row on the August new moon tides, a time when we always did well. Well for three nights it sucked. Not a tap. I convinced myself to go back on the fourth night. Tide went east at around 11 or so and it was the same as the first three nights. Well, for old times sake I did a little "bug hunting" and was doing quite well when I noticed the tide had gone east and was moving pretty good. The grass from around the point was comin back into the hole and I was going to leave but I noticed that my eel, hanging from the hook for an hour or so, still had a little wiggle and the grass was not that heavy so I made a cast and wham, I had a hit. I was shocked and it felt like a good fish. I landed a fat 36 inch fish and decided to make another cast with a new eel. I ended up with seven fish up to 43 inches long all released and the bugs to take home for next evenings bug salad. Haven't been back since. I did stop one night on the way home from a meeting as conditions were right, last September and Dave LaPorte was just coming off the flats and all he got was one rat and a run that dropped it.
