Hopefully I will have a report tomorrow :D :D
I dug a bunch of big king rag at low tide yesterday and will dig some lug at low tide this evening and then off to a beach that usually produces a few on the rising tide. It seems much longer than a month since I last did some beach fishing :roll: :roll:

Do you know what, lately I have started to forget about tides and just go fish. It has worked out very well. Especially over low tides, and half tides. (3/4 hours into a drop)

I know of several beaches that fish best in the 2 to 3 hours before low tide, but fish poorly on a rising tide.

Frank, that spot i was telling you about seemed to be best from an hour before to an hour after low water. both of the bigger Bass i had came within these times plus a few others.

ive never caught there in daylight tho so gonna try the last few hours before high water tonight.

no bothers. if my theory is correct then saturday night and a few nights after should be good. plus cortaz has some of these marked as "very good" so fingers crossed.

I hope you did better than I did last night - all I got was one small flounder :twisted:
I have a lot of bait left so I will try a different mark this evening.

looks like i did as well as you so. the wind was pretty strong and right in my face. at one stage there was about a pound of weed after running up the line and clogged on the top eye but i also saved the blank with a small flounder. hopefully the Bass will play ball over the weekend.
