Nothing Like Humble Pie

[done workin]

After the weekend I had a week ago below the bridge, I finally fealt like I was getting the LTJ thing down, maybe even understanding it.

Went out Saturday AM after the storms and found nothing but smaller marks mostly scattered. There was the occasional "better mark" syndrome but nothing seemed hungry. Worked a few hours below the bridge and then packed it in. Managed one 16" throwback and the guy with me managed one about 12-14" that inhaled a Gulp Jerk shad. Lost one that might have stretched to 18" on a Zoom White Ice shad hotrodded in Chartreuse.

Most boats seemed to be riding and searching.

No keepers. Perhaps the storms Friday night messed them up.

Might be the last trip for awhile since I head to OC this weekend for vacation. Time to harass the flounder. Got some Spro look-a-likes poured up. Gonna' try jigging them.

The pattern did seem to change by Saturday maybe the storm or the heat, but it seemed the dinks were everywhere, I went to deeper water, bigger lures and back to structure, the fishing for me was better on tail end of the out going tides. As a fisherman, you always have to be prepared for a slice of humble pie. Keep hunting them down,still lots of good fish out there.

Chris, You did better than me Saturday. I was working! Don't think you would have done much crabbing either according to reports. I hope you have a great week at the beach! I will be going the following week..................Gary
