THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO BUT IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT. I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT WORKS OUT. IF I CAN'T POST A REPORT SOON ABOUT SOMETHING OTHER THAN A FILEFISH THEN I WILL START TO QUESTION MY ABILITY AS A FISHERMAN. TIME TO HIT THE PIER AND SLAY. SEE YOU THERE.

Well I dug deep and found enough motivation to get my mack gear ready, now if I can just be there at daybreak tomorrow it's looking like some good conditions are forming...a weak front with some good wind, choppy water....perfect

Here's my report: 6 macks, 2 bluerunners, 4 lizardfish...lame. I struggled to find a spot to fish, the place was packed at 7:10. Tomorrow I'm going to see my shrink as it is clear I need therapy for coming out here on the weekend....headed home and when I get there I plan to hit the pipe

Hahaha best report I’ve seen from you yet! We are just happy to see you got out there. I would imagine the place is packed on those morning especially with the fishing being actually decent lately. If you have no other obligations mondays and tuesdays I roam the pier freely and have no spot issues ever

From what I saw mack fishing aint that great yet. I saw maybe 10 caught in 2.5 hrs and they were small 12-15" fish, and that's with 75-100 people fishing for them, and everyone that was using spoons was using white. I should have kept my mouth shut about that. We need some strong fronts with cold air to push bigger macks to the piers(and when it's cold very few people go out early)

Wed looks good, back to 4 tides with good current, high tide around noon, if I go I will be there around 9 am and leave when the tide is slack but hopefully before then, if they are there in good numbers it won't take long......now I see 70% chance of rain on Wed so maybe not

Hahaha best report I’ve seen from you yet! We are just happy to see you got out there. I would imagine the place is packed on those morning especially with the fishing being actually decent lately. If you have no other obligations mondays and tuesdays I roam the pier freely and have no spot issues ever No fixed spot issues sounds like the real answer. If you observe the water, you often can see rips/lines between two different masses of water. You can see it from the color of the water and often by the floating grass and algae that is concentrated along the edge of those two water masses. I have seen many, many times in many places where mackerel will be concentrated on one side of the rip, and hardly any on the other side. They find the conditions (water clarity and bait concentration best on one or the other sides of the rip). Then if you have observed carefully, those rips move in/out on an angle. That means that the rip edge moves in or out of the length of the pier over time. For example, the edge of the rip may come into the pier around the middle of the pier, but over time it hits the pier further and further out toward the end. That can move the mackerel from the middle to the end of the pier. Those rips or lines between two water masses sometimes are not able to be seen easily or at all. That probably is why stuckintherocks keeps moving and finds the fish that move their concentration in or out along the pier. Hope this helps.... |
