Fished
AI today, 5/2. Was expecting strong 15-20 kt winds sw then w. Never materialized and about 10:30 hardly a breath of air was moving. Nats started to move in but a gently south/south east breeze kept em back in the dunes. Bright sun and clear blue skies from about 10:00 until 3:00. Started out with cut bunker and bunker heads on fish finder rigs. Before I could get my third rod out I had two skates. Not good. Ended up switching all four rods over to mullet rigs and it helped alot with keeping the skates away although not 100%. I was also aware that my chances of catching the large rock I was hoping to find were next to nil. Same for the black drum. Oh well, blues are more fun than skates. Ended up with two in the box and missed a half dozen others. You would think with two hooks in the bait the hook-up rate would be good but not for me. Also managed a 30 in spiny. About 10 skates. Also forgot the camera so the only shot I got was just prior to surgery. It feels like the fishing could bust open anytime. Good luck.
