10 minutes of fishing at low slack and the 19" weak cooperated. a half hour later and a 1/4 mile south a 19" fluke decided to swipe and get snagged in the side. Left when it got choppy, drift was too fast, and I couldn't use a drift sock as I had fish on stringers port and starboard, (but that's a nice problem to have.)
I know I am going to jinx myself, but I make my own bucktails and teasers (with a little help from Lep who did my exploratory shopping for me), and I have not used more than two different buck and teaser rigs since I started fishing this spring. Still catching with pink and white Gulp combos, white grubtail on the buck, pink grub tail on the teaser. I have only gone through
4 pieces of Gulp so far, rejuvenating them with a spray of juice while I paddle back to start another drift. 2020 was a decent year for me; this year looks like another one so far. Had to buy a new Foodsaver last week ! I am not the least bit adventurous with my kayak fishing, usually paddling no more than two miles in my local backbay. Unfortunately I can't fish with easterlies this summer as the jerks at the town decided to renovate the other launch site I have used this spring, and that site allows me to hide under the mansions with an east wind. Paying the county to launch at Wantagh is just going to happen.
