Just tried there this morning about an hour before high incoming cloudy nobody tring but me no hits. I took a water tempature reading and it was 51-52 along the shoreline with south west wind pushing surface water to my feet. I am sure its a little cooler out a ways. Soon.....

Jeff - what are you using?

I had a small (4" ?) yo zuri swimmer I just picked up at ocean state in black and silver that I tried a little while then switched to a zoom fluke in a clear whitish color with a small kalin jig head. As far as the tempature I took that with an orvis stream thermometer on a four foot tether I throw in the water while I was casting.

JIGS JIGS JIGS!!! Small bucktail jigs -n- teasers or soft plastics like Queen Cocahoes & the stuff GS pours. That stuiff typically works for me a couple weeks before anything else... I used to alternate between the WW and then Shell Point a lot...

John, try those Storm wildeyes. They inhale them.

then when those slow change over to jerkbaits, then back to those shads. castmasters work well too.
