Wish I had a rod but these fish dont seem like they were feeding....although a rigged or live eel prob. would have taken one of these fish. I have been taking a break from the surf after a marathon of late night excursions to catch up with family,friends,work and a few good nights of sleep....19 trips in 30 days. I will be back out tonight though....a few more and Im done. Not at this spot as I am sure these fish are long gone. Just strange to see such large fish in shallow water without any bait in sight.

I could'nt think of a better place to start.

They are hunting pogies. By day small migrating pods of pogies try to sneak by danger by hugging the shore. Bass patrol or wait for them in very shallow water. Those fish will jump all over a danny plug.....and totally ignore an eel .

Oh, Im sure they are hungry....what bass isnt up for meal this time of year. If this was summer and the fish might be resident, I would be out there casting my a** off right now. But I have a funny feeling they were moving pretty quickly...the water is 54 in these waters as of this morning...half the reason I go running in this place is so I can measure water temps..lol..52 Im done...this is were log book is very useful..."narrow the times you spend there".

Anyway off to bed..2am coming quick....have a low tide spot that can be productive this time of year under darkness.

for what it's worth~~~

i saw the same pattern take place today. only add pnuts to the mix.

there was a BIG fish within 20 feet of shore, in 6'-8' of water, moving a small pod of pnut bunker,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

back and forth, from up current(A) to down current(B) hugging the shore,
moving out about 40 yds(C); then back in shore and back to point A.

wait 10 mins; repeat,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,for about 90 minutes.
from Noon ~ 1340, FAC, and the only sign of life for miles! RIGHT THERE!!
so stinkin' CLOSE, i could've killed it with a well thrown spear

and i trew EVERYTHING but bait at her, rubber/tin/and all manner of AYC,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,although, George, i didn't snap on a Danny,
since i thought it was too big. tried to match the hatch with PtJude tins and swim shads to the tune of NADA~~~
