Went out last night, it was perfect - big tide with the full moon and a cloud cover to hide it - an increasing swell with the storm offshore, plenty of white-water and a coupla days of SW wind - aaahhh.....
Went to one of my favorite spots for a SW - absolutely textbook for that spot and got.....
POOP
Nada, nothing, zilch, zero, goose-egg - not as much as a freakin' sniff on eels, plugs and jigs. Had a racoon follow us out and hang around, must have gotten a whiff of the eels, that was pretty much it for wildlife,
real thin in the bass department.
I'll tell ya, be real careful out there - this swell is gonna be a corker, it's pushing a lot of water up the coast already - the water was still rising an hour after high out front - I was standing on a rock 4' up from where I usually stand and was occasionally taking white-water to the knees -
We'll see what happens, I guess - early on the swell might produce in a large way - but 4 days of a big swell is probably just gonna blow everything hell-west and crooked baitwise just as it was starting to fall into place. Not to mention a butt-load of weed everywhere...
Saw Tony C. last nite and stopped at his camper to say hi - he's the guy who built and installed the fisherman's ladder at the point all on his own - I'm gonna be interested to see what chunks did overnite -
