Hi John R:
Thank you for your explaination about the feeding behavior of the ocean fish! Especially, the thought of "fishing but not catching" is quite impressive. I wish I can vision that in ten years.
Let me know, if you were me this Monday night! And under following fishing conditions what would you do before call it a
day and go home quick
1. On the Jetty near the river mouth around 10 PM
2. At the last two to three hour of out going tide, current and tide are strong near the jetty.
3. No much action (hit within a half hour window and quiet down to nothing) on clam in the water except crabs' bite
4. You have white buck-tail jig with 5 " grub , 1.5 ounce surface plug, 4'' swimmer (rubber fish with white belley with back back), dead mack, clam and blood worm
What kind of baits or lures will you try before you call it a day and persuade yourself that fish is not around the Jetty (usually this is the best spot in the river mouth). Would you try river bank, ocean front or others before you conclude that fish is off-shore and call it a day quick!
Actually, on the other side(ocean side --I usually fish the river side on out going tide) of the Jetty, I saw plenty of break wave (out going tide), but after fishing there for half an hour I gave up also--So fish is not around the break waves either. I did ask myself where are the fish that day !
