Went to South beach today. Saw many - Many fish. A good day. Chuck and I hit South beach today at 8:00am started seeing fish to the south of the drop off around 9:30am. I also saw Dave (Pearson)? who was off the dredge a channel. How'd you do Dave. The fish were traveling South to North and there is a ridge that they see m to follow in from the weeds. Chuck hooked up first with a nice 28" then I got a 18". around 10:30 I hooked into a good one. A bit of a knuckle bust and 5minutes later I had a 31" with sea lice in hand. The fish was released to hopefuly grow many more inches. The fishing was really cool because you could see the fish cruising. The two fish I got were sight strike fishing but not true site fishing. There were quite a few people around 11ish and the fishing got tough but everyone said these were the best visibility conditions seen in a while. We started seeing more fish but they seemed to be just taking a shortcut over the flats and were not eating. By now ,noonish, there were about 18 people where 2 had been. Chuck and I departed that flat and figured we'd hit the channel at the drop off. I managed to break my rod (not on a fish) but was able the chuck QD as well or better than with the tip in place. No more fish and No Maine for us due to a health problem with the owner of the cottage. I may see you one day this weekend. Good luck.
