Fishing Report Oct 14th 2013
For Monday, Oct 14th, that damn NE wind is back – I shouldn’t whine, I recall one year it blew NE 15-25 for 1 1/2 months straight. Today we’re looking at 20 – 30+ with a high of 74 and a slight chance of rain. Sunset is 6:30 pm and sunrise tomorrow is 7:08 am.
First tide is high at 3:49 am with a low at10:11 am
Second tide is high at 4:15 pm with a low at 10:43 pm
Chatting with Budgie Sadler at Avalon this morning, he remarked some of the guys at the end were using 12 oz sinkers and were still having a hard time holding. When I have to throw 10 – 12 oz of lead, I’m thinking I need to fish somewhere else. This morning they had 3 old drum come over the rail and several slot-sized pups. Was also told lots of large spot (yellow bellies) were taken home yesterday.
Conditions are a little dirty and grassy in the surf today and I’m sure the breeze is creating a stiff sideshore current and disorganized swell that make it difficult for surf fishing but I’ll bet there are puppy drum and sea mullet to be had.
Not a boat day. Long range weather suggests this wind may drop out by Wednesday
