With the crappy weather coming to stay for a few days, I decided to get out and hit the beach. It was also the last day for vehicles in Surf City so I conned Bill Bond 006-7/8 into going with me. Before the rods were even baited, we watched an osprey dive into the wash and snatch up a fluke, less than 10 yards from shore. Choice of bait was bunker and clams, 6-8 oz lead was needed to hold because of the current and blustery winds. A few dogfish and a skate were around but we were able to land three bass. One over, one under and one just right in the slot. Looking forward to the Second Annual Inshore Slam which starts next week and the Battle of the Beach on the 21st.
