While the mack fishing has been unbelievably good, the topwater action has been humbling. It has usually been around the harbor mouth or inside, where bass and birds are crushing schools of juvenile herring. The fly guys have been doing well. The spinning crowd has been frustrated in getting the right rubber to match the hatch. I have more than a dozen hanging off a pool noodle on my windshield that I rotate through trying to find what will work.

But yesterday I pulled out a Salty casting egg and a fly on a longer leader. Hooked up consistently from a distance, which gave me an advantage over the fly crowd with the wind. Wish I had thought of this a couple weeks ago.... Hope this helps some others who have been in the same position.
