Hopefully I will have a report tomorrow
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

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.Eoghan wrote: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)

Re: any Bass reports now that it's the 16th june?
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.RockHunter wrote: I know of several beaches that fish best in the 2 to 3 hours before low tide, but fish poorly on a rising tide.
ive never caught there in daylight tho so gonna try the last few hours before high water tonight.

Re: any Bass reports now that it's the 16th june?
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.

Re: any Bass reports now that it's gone 16th june?
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.
