High tide for Black Rock was scheduled for 2:59pm and NWS was calling for SW winds throughout the afternoon and evening.
Arrived at the Fayerweather Island jetty around 1:30pm as the tide was coming in. Wind was a steady 10mph southwest with skies mostly sunny.
Lures I tried throwing were original pearl shad Flat Rap FLR-10, glass ghost Clackin Minnow CNM-11, blue sardine Saltwater X-Rap SXR-10, Storm Jointed Minnow Stick, and mullet Saltwater Rattlin Rapala SRNR-8. None produced anything so I knew it was time for the silver shad Jointed Shallow Shad Rap JSSR-7.
First cast out there with the JSSR-7 and I land a sea robin. Saw a few chunkers landing only sea robins. Landed a total of 5 sea robins with the JSSR-7 before the bite died half hour before peak high.
Headed out to Fayerweather Island to find no action.
Worked my way back to the West Beach parking lot as I casted from the jetty but had no luck.
Went to the rocky stretch with no luck.
Got to Breezy Point to find lots of chunkers. Other than sea robins, 2 tailors and 1 short fluke were landed by them. I never got a single hit on lures that could get down to the fish.
Last stop was Remington and it was just snappers.
Hit the road just before 5pm.
Snappers I saw being caught were no bigger than 6". I'm gonna give it another week or 2 before targeting them. |

| Michael , I admire your unrelenting effort and passion for fishing so don't take this the wrong way but you really need to start fishing somewhere else the western sound is a deadzone after june . Find someone with a boat or go on a charter. Or if there is room on my boat I will take you and get you into some stripers. |

It's tough with me having no car. I've posted asking for fishing partners and I'd be willing to pitch in for gas if they'd take me out on their boat but I never get any offers or I get 1 or 2 offers that end up not going though.  |
