Really messy start to the day at the peak tide. Lots and lots of seaweed, strong currents, and a reasonably strong surge. I somehow managed a couple perch early in the session, and spent a while waiting for spots to clear to even attempt to cast. Once the tide started to fall the water cleared pretty rapidly, and I caught another five or so perch.
7-8 total on the morning, mostly medium size and one that was probably 11”-12”. Both mussels and lugworms were working.
This incoming storm should make things interesting. I think I’m staying away from the beach at least through next weekend just to let it pass and let everything settle back down. Tides don’t look great during my available windows of time, anyway. Always worth spending time at the beach, but maybe just go for the waves and surf for now and not so much the fish
