Unfishable.....
A couple of us hit the Marblehead surf this morning with nothing to show. Just got out of work and took these shots of a favorite reef, and this was almost dead low! Not much chance of fishing it in those conditions... Had to be twenty surfers out off Devereaux Beach! I would not be surprised if one or more become a statistic.....
Note how this place has current from both right and left?

I found a local low lying beach with the wind at my back. Had an 11 ft Zziplex Bass rod (@1988 vintage), a cleaned and oiled Calcutta, and 20lb braid. Felt like Ron Arra out there. Was throwing a 2 1/2 oz beachmaster danny about 120yds. Ridiculous. Only caught two tiny bass.........but it was the most fun casting I've ever had.

Caught my largest bass to date with a huge surf. Got beat to hell, but some very large fish in there.

not where that pic was taken, especially at low tide. you'd have to stand about 30' back from the water to fish that spot in those conditions - otherwise the undertoe would either sweep you away or you're legs would get destroyed by the softball to bowling ball rocks being pushed up the slope and pulled back down in the wash. 30-40 mph cross winds too. |

Yeah, I was at that spot this morning as well and I agree, unfishable, believe me I tried. There were most likely fish there, a bunch of birds were feasting on bait a little further down the shore but it would have been a bad decision to try and get to a spot where you could have actually cast in their vicinity, and forget about landing a fish. The wind was just too much, couldn't even get a 3 oz tin out past the first wave, and there was so much bow in the line an effective retrieve was impossible. Lots of weed as well, I had a bottle plug get so mired in cabbage that it snapped my main line above the bimini when I tried to haul it out. All in all a very tough outing, I think I only lasted about an hour, but what a great morning anyway, awesome sight to witness the raw power of nature. Hopefully there will still be some fish around in the aftermath, can't end the season with a skunking.
