5/18 prefish

[madscientist]

Got down there at 5:15, little later than I wanted. Great conditions, very small surf , gentle offshore that died early, and the lowest low tide I've seen in some time. Kind of wondered where the ocean went when I first started driving out on the beach. Saw a stingray in the surf as I was wading out, yikes. Shot north and quickly loaded and started heading to the point. Spooked something big about halfway out from the pier. Could have been a ray, definitely not a shark and not really YT looking either. Checked in on the usual spots. Same story as of late; tons of puddling bait, no real sign of the right kind. Babysat a bait ball for a while but quickly figured I'd seen enough to know what the gameplan for tomorrow will be and I really didn't want to catch a fish today. Might have to break out a secret weapon I've been saving, left over from this winter.
