 |
|
My dad and I hit the outgoing at Penfield Reef Thursday evening. I was the first to get out there and couldn't believe how flat, wide, and rocky the Reef has gotten! A few others were out there already and were reporting an occasional taylor and what looked like stripers making small rises.
2 lures I threw out there included that 13cm purple ghost Max Rap and a 10cm chrome Flat Rap. My dad tried throwing a topwater and also went slow with a Mambo Minnow. Both of us had not even a hit.
Around 7:45pm a thunderstorm was in progress over eastern areas of Bridgeport with a few drizzles on the Reef. Once we saw lightning in the storm we headed in. |

| Were you fishing the deeper west side or the shallow east side Fishingkid? Yesterday my dad and I hit both sides but nothing. Last year in mid June I was into the taylors and a few fluke on the east side while they were feeding heavily on silversides and sand eels. |

I had the robins and the almost caught schoolie on the west side and the blue on the east. I remember last year's small blue run, too. |

I almost had the schoolie on a krockodile spoon and caught the blue off a bomber. |

| Earlier this evening I caught 2 small blues at the reef using a popper. I also missed 2 other strikes. |

| Are they just grabbing the very tail end or is it wire leader time? |

The two I caught were hooked on the rear treble each time. |

| Are they into the fast paced aggressive retrieve or an average steady stop and go? |

I guess I was just doing an average retrieve speed. Maybe if I slowed it down a little, I would've caught the other two hits I had with the popper. |
