You guys must have the stink on you as bad as BackBeach does. I had a building committee meeting last night that adjourned at 8:45pm, I drove the 40 miles from there to the beach I have been fishing, got there just as the tide was in it's first hour of the ebb, one other guy guarding a baited rod in it's holder, he was fishing the edge of a known hole so I went to the other side. The fishing wasn't fast and furious but in 45 minutes I had a 25lb fish, a 16 lb fish and one 24incher.
Just as I was landing the 25lb fish two guys walked in and mugged me on either side. they were casting sled dog eels while standing no more that 15 feet each side. One guy kept asking "you on again Bro?" First off I ain't your "Bro" and secondly your fishing etiquette sucks. I could have gone on but after a13 hours work day, three fish on the beach I decided to pack it in.
The moral of the story is that the fish are there still. The bar structure has drastically changed in the last week but the bait is thick. And though the temp in the parking lot was near the mid 30's, standing in the surf was balmy, must have been a 20 degree temp difference in 150 yards from shore to lot.
The fat lady hasn't sung yet. They are moving. The winds might kill your attempts the next few days if NOAA is right (yeah, and wrestlings for real) but the fish are still there, not as big but still there.
