    Default Early Morning Low Tide, Who Knew?

    Hit the beach at 6am and fished till 8am, nothing happening with carolina rigged fakes, or my LC. Buddy starts getting tagged on a dropshot with squid so I switch up and darned if that wasn't a fun hour of fishing!

    We ended up with 3 little rays, 3 medium/small Leos, 1 Shovelnose (first ever!), and 1 silly BSP that tried to swallow my hook but we got it out and he didn't even bleed heh.

    Good job mixing it up to beat the skunk
    Glad to see you guys had a fun day with a new species to add to your list.
    Thanks for the report!

    Yeah I am glad I wasn't to stubborn about switching up sometimes I think I need to be more persistent and others switch all the time heh, all I know is I am gonna hit more early morning low tides and not always just try to hit the incoming Highs.

    Just an fyi, you were holding a stingray in a way that could have cost you both hands.

    Be very careful!

    Thanks for the warning! It was actually our first stingray catch luckily it was really tiny and had no fight left we have gloves with us at all times now for these guys and anything bigger.
