Member GKolyagin (Genna) and I hit the Reef during the incoming Monday evening. High tide for Bridgeport was schedule for 9:40pm.

It was pretty choppy out there between a steady 10mph SE wind and good sized moon.

I gave Genna a few new and used Rapalas and he was the first to hit a fish. Caught a sea robin with a silver Flat Rap FLR10. I only got 1 hit with a purpledescent FLR10. Both were on the Bridgeport side.

As the tide got higher, we went onto the jetty and casted out towards Pine Creek. I hooked into a sea robin with a silver XR-10.

Once the sun was behind the houses, another fisherman on the jetty hit a taylor on a topwater. Genna took out his Atoms and I switched over to a SP-9. Genna hit a taylor that came off right near the rocks on the jump. I didn't get anything topwater.

I switched back over to the XR-10 and got a number of hits throughout the rest of the evening and landed 1 taylor that was pushed back into the water by the waves. Genna switched over to a glass ghost XR-10 and had a number of hits too.

We called it a night around 9:30pm

Thanks again for taking me out there! I loved every minute of it. Wish I had chest high waders because my thigh highs filled with water rather quickly haha.
