Got a pm from VanillaGurilla and left for NPH around 4:40 am..


The tide was way down, lots of exposed structure everywhere.
Strong current too.

I spent around 30 minutes looking for a few non-bass fish, resulting in a couple of croakers:

Then I got tired of that and put on a brush-hog knockoff, tossed it directly into the thickest eelgrass patch close to shore, then this nice bass slammed me hard:

Adam (vanillagurilla) found a nice deep hole near a dock and caught this nice spottie, then right after that, a short hali. I think he has the pic of the hali.

We decided to swing by the wedge and M street Dock, nothing really to mention, an asian guy in the left corner caught a couple of small calicos, and some misc. small fish.

The wedge was kinda barren, only saw small fish, with the exception of a huge opaleye, and a few fat garibaldi.. We couldn't manage any fish at either of these spots, then we jammed out around noon. Nice day! Do try to go out tomorrow, it will be just as nice. I may actually be there for an encore tomorrow.

Lots of tail bites that I think were croaker, overall a really slow day, only 4 fish on plastics between us both.
