I decided to try a late afternoon / early evening trip and tried a different spot mid-island. Sunny and comfortable with winds diminishing and an outgoing tide. I brought 006-7/8 for company. First cast was out but quickly rolling South even with 8 oz. I picked up the rod to move it to the other rod spike and felt it wiggle. Pulled in a nice bonus striper and landed it with help from Bill, 25 yards down the beach and line covered in weed. Quick pic and released. We didn’t even try to fish two rods because of the weeds and the current. Stayed for about 2-1/2 hours and called it quits. We were hoping for more time fishing, but it just wasn’t worth the effort.
Bottom line – Bass are still around and even when it is weedy, you can still catch fish!
