Reefy weekend over negative tide

Post by Zhao »

I am starting to understand why low tide, especially negative tide, is so prized. Unfortunately, crazy low tides during day time are pretty much behind us...

Anyway, last weekend had negative tide in the afternoon. Waded in and casted with heavy gear to get over the edge. And...

A couple smaller basses to scratch off skunk

I got a lucky streak. Went to the same spot the next day and no sheep at all.

Give it a shot man. Wading in reef is not very child friendly though so not the family fishing time..
