It's been a fun few days. I ran a morning surf trip with Bryce. We had nice conditions, though the surf was rather big. We had fairly steady action all morning. Bryce hauled in kingfish, weakfish, spot, doggies, and a blue. No big sharks or rays though.
The following day I had the pleasure of guiding Don and his family on the beach for an early evening outing. The action was a lot slower. We managed a few kingfish and small doggies. Again, no large sharks or rays. And it wasn't for a lack of trying.
For both surf trips I put rods out with spot, doggie, bunker, and kingfish. Usually automatic hook ups. Not so this time. As has been the case this spring and summer so far, prevailing south winds have cooled the water. And it was cloudy.
During the morning trip we had a massive school of bunker push in just outside of the break zone. I snagged a few and we tried them for bait. Not a touch. Not normal. The ospreys were killing it as usual. We had a few pelicans swoop in too. And the usual outstanding dolphin shows took place.
In other news, bloodworms have been scarce this year. They seemed to have made the difference between the trips. I had bloods for the morning trip. I used them with bits of Gulp bloodworm. For the night trip I decided to try night crawlers soaked in bloodworm juice. I used Gulp bloodworms and Fishbites too. The crawlers didn't get touched. The fake stuff caught kingies. I still think the crawler thing could work. Maybe just need more juice. I'll keep ya posted.
This morning I ran a back bay trip with Jillian and her family. More south wind today. We tried to punch it out to the reef, but about three miles out the waves began to get steeper and the white caps were growing in frequency. So we turned around and stayed in the back. They missed a lot of bites. But managed to get one 18" keeper and a short fluke. Not a banner day, but we had a lot of fun. In the end, that's what matters. Got some great news regarding some fish I have been after. Next nice day I will be out searching.
