Got to the launch and met BennyBlanco. It was was cold and the offshore wind was very brisk. Water was 55º at launch time and warmed up to a balmy 57º by 11:00. Benny decided to join me for some pipe fishing and we launched about 6:00. We hit the jetty for no love and then headed for the pipe. Turned out to be the right decision.

While the bass were by no means chewing I had slow pick for 2 1/2hrs. Got 10 legals and 1 short. Plus I missed quite a few short biters. 3 were sandbass of reasonable size (below is one of them) and even had one sandico. The wind blew until 9:00 and the drifts were FAST, 1oz to hit bottom. But once the wind died I only had 2 fish and from 9:30 to 11:00 I didn't have single bite. Talk about shutting down. On the rare side, the onshore wind hadn't kicked up even when I left at 11:00. On the rarer side I saw a thresher twice (or 2 different ones). Haven't seen one since the beginning of fall.

As far as what worked, it was pretty simple. Most of the fish at a 4" Flurry in redfish. Got a couple on the 5" Big Hammer in x-mas tree and one on a keylime 5" MC slug. Every other color and size was left alone and I tried a lot of combinations. Of course all baits had some Hot Sauce for taste.

I'll let Benny tell his own story, but it was nice to put another face to a name and also to have some company. Thanks for joining me Benny.
