9/23 arrived at Morris Island, fished for 3 hrs from Rip Ryder to the inlet.....nothing.....no fish , no bait, except at inlet(bait-bunker). Headed to Harding's beach, picked up 2 blues from 5 pm to dusk.
9/24 walked from the Chatham Light up to the drop off at SB(outside). Blue fish bonanza last 3 hrs of incoming on outside... then they moved 200 ft off shore...picked up six in the 5 to 6 lb range on baby bunker flies. Hords of bunker were in the water.....as well as 1000's on the beach escaping the blues.
Crossed over at high tide to the flats and holes at drop off point, only saw 6 stripers (singles), who seemed more interested in planning for their retirement and rebalancing their 401K's, than my presentations:hehe:
Hooked up in the morning with Jim S on SB.....he served as my tutor on fishing the surf. Learned a great deal from Jim and now feel that I have a fighting chance at success in the future Thank you Jim for the knowledge you shared and especially your company. Again I find it amazing how many people I've met, who are more than willing to impart their knowledge.....just makes the experience all that better. Thank you Jim!!!!
Stripers on outside(dropping tide) were sparse yesterday.......no hook-ups.
Lastly.....a friend of mine from Penn., will be vacationing at the Cape starting this Saturday. He is anxious to fish Monomoy and get a 1st hand look instead of seeing pictures in magazines. I told him that given SB, it looks like flats are just about dead. Is anyone doing anything out there? Is it worth a try? Or should he concentrate on SB that give him opportunites for flats and surf?
Your input will be appreciated.
