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~~~

When I see bunker of any size around I don't feel like I've fished right unless I've thrown a pencil or white danny for a while. |

Well I didn't get "those" fish but did manage 3 small fish in the 20-25lb range and a big blue that made minced meat of my rigged eel. Seals were unwelcome company around 500am and scared the sh*t out of me....popping its head up not 2 feet away then splashing/swimming away once he/she realized I wasnt one of them. I was fishing by myself (my partner thought his bed was much more comfortable) and I think I had a mini heart attack after that. Stopped fishing round 6:30 and just sat there and watched the world wake up and kinda took it all in. No large but man was it a beautiful morning to be out there.
