Fished yesterday
My brother, Squid Kid's Dad and I fished yesterday. Almost blown out but I landed a 26" on a sand eel teaser being chased by a white storm shad. Six others fished bit the storm yesterday. Standing where we were salt water, not rain, was blowing sideways by us through the air. Standing chest deep and the wind would still manage to push me to and fro even with the water acting as a stabilizing effect. Had to time cast for the brief lull in between the 40 to 50 m.p.h. gust. All in all it was an awesome day.

I love wind and slop! Fishing rainy windy days in May is among the best, most consistent fishing I see all year!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

There's a spot in So County RI where a NE wind on a midnight high will stack 20 to 30 lb fish 10 feet from the rock I stand on. They only stay for an hour or 2 but if you time it just right......OH BABY!!!!  |
No boat, back in the suds.

I almost fell off my rock that night. Who walks up to a surf fisherman at 2 in the morning, in the middle of nowhere and says "Are you Paul"? I am still amazed. |

Did he shine his spotlight of a head lamp in your eyes and shine it all over the water behind you? If so I've run into that guy too.  |

The funny thing about this incident is that this spot is not easy to get to, doesn't get much traffic and is dark as a pocket in the middle of the night. he actually scared the crap out of me because I didn't even hear him come up in back of me. We have been good friends since that night. |
