Tough night

How many other nitwits, besides, Bryan, Spence, Nebe and myself were out?
I spoke with JoeP and told him to wait till dawn. It was coming down so hard I could hardly see. Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, high surf and it's midnight. Gotta love this sport or be nuts or both. I've had it. Going to bed.

No boat, back in the suds.

The Aquaskinz gotta earn their keep every now and then. I think my right ear is still completely filled with seawater, but dammit I got my needle back!

What a difference a day makes. Friday night-glass calm, light winds and tough fishing-Saturday night East winds, driving rain but finally found some fish. Gotta love it

I spent a couple of hrs in that slop. Should have stayed home where it was warm and dry.

I went out and couldn't see a damn thing, except the lightning, and booked it home, it was miserable out there! No fish for me.

HAMMER TIME!

I was out all day and left at 6 pm due to high winds and driving rain
plus the junk coming out of the river and washing up on shore was
gross plus the tea brown water. I was tired of catching trout size stripers
10 to 14 inches. totally different from Friday night when the fish were 5 times the size and flat calm tide

Surfcasting Full Throttle

Don't judge me Monkey

Yep - as much as I love to fish in nasty weather, I whimped out.

After I talked to Paul about the conditions, I read the Forecast again, saw the bands of T-Storms on the radar for the next several hours, and cashed it in.

last night of the MDA so I went out.
Water was pretty muddy though.

Saw 6 people total over about 5 hours on the water.
This in various well known spots.

not a hit all night.
