MIssion Beach 3-7-2026

Arrived just before sunrise. Low tide, gentle waves, throwing the gold kastmaster. Saw several others out to my south. Managed one dink in 90 minutes, eye-hooked. Sorry bud. Hope everyone caught something. Sharp hooks and tight lines.

I was out there too… unsure where you were, exactly, but I was set up a bit farther north today. I could see tower 20 to my south just a little ways down the beach and I saw one other person fishing, nobody to my north until I left around 9:00 when I saw a small group of 2-3 people fishing.

I was there from 6:00 - 9:00 and experienced the same low tides, small waves, and clean water. The current was oddly strong and was pulling hard to the south. Once the wind started picking up a bit I was done.

I managed two tiny perch on the morning, combined 6” in length if even that. Better than no perch

I was getting nibbles all morning on lugworms and mussel but only those two takers. I’m guessing it was all small guys and only the two of them bit a little too aggressively and ultimately wound up in the mouths of seagulls.

Southerly wash surge for sure! I think 2 perch with a combined 6 in length still beats my single 7 inch perch.

With that southerly surge, I feel like I could have been more strategic with my lure by making more casts to the north / northwest. Lessons. Surprised by the relative lack of hits (for me) that time of day.
