 |
|
Wednesday's high tide for Black Rock Harbor was 3:01pm and arrived at the Fayerweather jetty just before 2pm. Winds were a steady 10 mph out of the east with waters very choppy between Bridgeport Harbor and the Fayerweather jetty. Water levels were very high too.
Lures I tried playing with included tennessee olive shad Clackin Minnow CNM-9, blue sardine Saltwater X-Rap SXR-10, silver blue X-Rap Shad Shallow XRSH-8, silver blue Skitter Pop SP-9, purpledescent Shallow Shad Rap SSR-9, blue back herring Long Cast Minnow LC-12, and pearl grey shiner Flat Rap FLR-10.
Lost what felt like either a sea robin or small schoolie on the CNM-9.
Then when the tide started turning, bunker showed up in pods on the surface. Didn't see much splashing though. Tried throwing a number of lures from SP-9 to a bigger Max Rap MXR-15. Had 1 small explosion on the SP-9 in front of me by what seemed to be a schoolie.
Eventually caught a 16" schoolie with the CNM-9 before the bunker disappeared.
Once it was almost sunset I headed over to Remington, which is where I caught a sea robin and an aggressive chubby 15" schoolie with the CNM-9.
Hit the road just after 7pm
I'm seeing signs of action picking up now. Another thing I'm thinking is gonna happen is this low pressure heading our way is gonna be a system that has more to do with the coastal waters. Then a cold front will sweep through with calmer weather and colder temps behind. All of that will cool water temps and turn the bite on kinda like what happened last year after Sandy. Bridgeport Harbor buoy has been reading water surface temps ranging from 67 to 69. |

I remember last year how slow it was in late September and early October until I started catching a few schoolies later in October and then schoolie action got hot in November.
Landing those 2 and loosing the 1 after tons of sea robins in August and September is reminding me of last year. First surf fishing stripers since May. |

Googan????Definitely NOT!!!
What's your perception of the term?
When I hear the term googan, I think of the folks that leave their litter, human waste, balls of tangled line or the sun-rotted fish that they killed and later decided that they didn't want. I think of folks who don't look around them to understand that there may be folks in a rotation at the end of a jetty and just barge out to the tip and squat down, or that they're way above the high tide mark on private beach properties or cutting through driveways upsetting the owners. I perceive googans to be folks who paddle a kayak into the path of a powerboat that is trolling a rip and then scream about their right of way, or the power boater that cuts-off or wakes the yak guy snotfully whispering to his buddy about his "right of way". I'm talking about the folks who, when politely and respectfully corrected, take offense at the intrusion and either ignore the guidance or become defensive and aggressive.

| You need to try a GTX-210 in olive. Have had a few trailers during high pressure systems. The TRX-9 run deep on outgoing may also produce. Maybe you should stick to PS2 with remote. |
