Mission Beach 11/2

Post by jwacky »

The tide conditions weren’t ideal but I wanted to take advantage of the earlier sunrise this morning at Mission Beach. The current was manageable, although I’m not sure the same can be said for the grass everywhere. It came in spurts and could generally be seen in the water, but man, when it grabbed the line it was trouble. Such is life when trying to fish high tides.

I was able to catch three small perch. The first one was immediately after my first catch on a combo of shrimp and gulp sandworm. The next two were spread out over a couple hours. Slow morning but no skunk 🙌

At least you got out & gave it a go . . . those bigger hi tides can be a challenge. Thanks for the report

The nice thing about having the ability to get out so often lately is that I’m starting to feel less urge to get out there regardless of condition. As you were saying in the King Tides thread, anything over 5ft and definitely over 5.5 - 6ft is really tough, at least at MB/PB. The tide was coming up and over the slope of the sand!

Safe to say that I think I’ll be sitting out the king tide this week, haha. I’ll either just sit and watch, head to the bay side, or maybe just go to Tuna Harbor dockside market and buy some fish that someone else caught 😂
