My end of September vacation...in review

[Karl F]

Good for you Steve, and sorry I could not get out with you.. always a busy time of year for me, family and work wise..just can't make plans, as things change quickly, in my world.

As far as the 10PM exodus.. I can understand the local working guys, 5 or 6 AM comes pretty quick.. but the NY club types.. I thought that is what they came here for? .. sleep all day, fish all night.. don't get it...

But, glad you found them .. I did a couple all nighters just south of you, one of those weeks.. no where near as good results.. you were on top of them.

PS..
did you use a dropper?.. it's been a tremendous help on my beach.

Karl, I did use a dropper but 8 out of ten fish came to the plug. One thing I found most valuable as far as droppers are concerned is that a tied dropper, meaning tied like a fly, did better then the old standby RedGill. Less weight allowed it to stay up better in that shallow water. All the fish caught were caught in water you could easily have waded across to the outer bar. Needles were constantly dragged through the sand. Bait was thick but not sand eels but Silversides. Didn't see a sand eel.
