With the "get it while you can.." mentality firmly planted in my brain,..I took off work a lttle early and made a beeline for the water yestarday afternoon. Got out for exactly 2 hours at slack high tide progressing into the beginning of outgoing before it got too dark. Perfect overcast conditions with a very slight breeze and almost glassy water.
Things began pretty slow and the fish seemed to want nothing to do with a Hogy soft plastic for the first 45 minutes or so. But then I switched it up to a bucktail and immeditely got bit on the first cast before it even hit the bottom,...a 20-something schoolie,..good deal, no skunk!. Then I got another one about the same size a few casts later and I began to think that all the decent fish had left! I moved around a little more and picked up a 30 incher which made me feel a little better about things. As the water began to move with the incoming tide the action got hot!! I got a 36, then a 40 after that,...at this point, the water was moving fast enough to make it difficult to keep my bucktail near the bottom without constantly snagging the rocks so i switched back to a Hogy (which sort of glides down softly rather than plowing into the bottom structure...) and I managed to pick up a nice 42 incher. I started thinking that it was time to go but I really wanted one more fish. As soon as I thought that, I stopped getting bit for a while and figured that maybe the window had closed,..but then finally, on what I had decided was definitely my last cast,..i got another nice one that went 41 inches and it made me quite content to call it an evening!! One of my best outings of the year,..a lot of action in a very short time from decent sized fish!! Cool

Here's the biggest ones:
