After staying in and napping during the miserable weather on Saturday, I kept an eye on the NWS marine forecast for Bridgeport Harbor and the local radar. Once I saw the rain was gone and winds were calming down, I headed down to the sandbar. Arrived around 4:30am Sunday with the Daiwa Procyon Penn Sargus setup. Low tide for Bridgeport was scheduled for 6:52am.
Lures I played with included original pearl shad Flat Rap FLR-10, pearl grey shiner FLR-10, glass ghost Clackin Minnow CNM-11, moss back shiner CNM-9, chrome Skitter Pop SP-9, blue sardine Saltwater X-Rap SXR-10, 4" Berkley Havoc Subwoofer, and flake purple ghost Max Rap MXR-11.
Got a chubby 14" schoolie on the pearl grey shiner FLR-10 and caught a sea robin with the CNM-11. Had what seemed to be a porgy hit on the CNM-11 during a pause. Felt similar to a curios sunny pecking at a small jerkbait. or soft plastic.
Saw a few surf fishermen come and throw pencils, soft plastics, bucktails, and SP Minnows. One caught a sea robin on a soft plastic.
Only sign of life I saw was birds working Pleasure Beach.
Hit the road around 9am once winds got gusty again. |

| id venture to say that small tap was a fluke as they are in good numbers along the shoreline so far. where as porgies are mostly on the wrecks still |

Thanks for the info. Looking forward to landing my first fluke of the year now that I've caught a bluefish, 2 sea robins, 6 weakfish, and lots of stripers.
Clackin Minnows have been good for fluke since I first started using them for surf fishing last year. |
