Hey all,
Went to Carlsbad this morning around 5:15 ( gray light ).

The rip tides were supposed to die down yesterday evening, well they didn't.
I won't say it was like a washing machine out there, but it wasn't pretty.

The high tide was at 4:15ish at 4.25 ft.
Carlsbad is normally a good spot for tides in between 3.5-2 ft.

When I drove by last week to check out conditions there I saw a very nice trough
that would be doable at around 3-4 ft.
That's why I arrived early.

Fished the area for 2 hours without even a nibble.
98% of my retrieves had salad.
As you all know you aren't going to catch anything when your plastic is trailing eel grass...

Last thing, water temp was spot on at 60 degrees.

Hope this helps someone.

Robert
