Surfside 3X

[mallardslayer77]

Made it down to SS 3 times last week! We went on Sunday the 2nd and struck out. Light wind, flat surf, but dirty water and no bites. I knew the water would clean up so we headed back down Monday. What a day! Water did clean up and it was one-after-another for a couple hours. Most were caught free-lining live shrimp in the 2nd gut. My buddy hoooked a FAT 24 in spec at first light on a topwater. I had my limit by the time the bite died, so we went to SLP and I caught 3 of his limit. ha ha

We went again Sunday the 9th. Flat surf, light wind, and the water was so gin clear I could see my feet in 5 ft of water. However, there was no bait in the water and NOTHING was biting. We through everything in the box at them and couldn't come up with one keeper. Is there such a thing as the surf being too clean?

Pics are from last Monday

I didn't mean to add this to the fishing tournament sub-forum, but now I can't figure out how to delete/move it. The "edit post" button is not showing up anywhere now.

Nice .... Had one good day out of 3 ....that's fishing . You don't know till you go . Good job for persistence and the nice fish . Tough days fishing is still better than doing anything else !

Nice report. When crystal clear, I usually only get sharks or smacks, so yes, too clear seems to not be the ticket for trout.

Be careful catching another individuals limit when you already have your daily bag limit. It will be extremely costly!
