No Bites!

I was able to get out for a while tonight, and things were pretty quiet up and down the beach. I noticed a dark area in the water about 100 yards up the beach and went to investigate. Fish were breaking everywhere. I was fishing eels.... not bite. I tried Storm Wildeyes in various sizes and colors.... no bite. I tried Needl-eels, and Kastmasters... no bite. I even had a chunks of herring, and you guessed it... no bite. I was REALLY regretting not having my plug bag with me at that time. It was hard to tell what they were feeding on, but if you were in a this situation, what would you throw? It was enough to drive a man to drink. Thanks!

Wherever you go.... there you are!

I've had that problem more than once.It certainly can be frustrating to have the fish within easy reach and not have anything they want.

I would have used a teaser rig. If that didn't work, I would start ripping the lure really fast thru them fish. If that did;t work. Some days no matter what you do you just can't make um eat!!!!
