They caught on topwater for a short time, then it died.
They then swapped to Sand Eels and fished for a while
longer. Bite died around 8:30. No more fish after that.

I had tried something close to Opening Night fairly early, but tried other colors after no hits in 15-20 cast.

good report mr gerald.......how close can you get to the beach in a boat. i have always wanted to head west from the jetties was just scared of running onto a beach

I went today and left at 8 with 4 trout. Was in the water around 6:30 and my first 2 cast trout on topwater. Then it died so I made a move and caught 2 more on topwater. That was all I threw this morning. I just wanted to check the water before work. The water was stained...but is holdin some fish. Lots of bait also...going Sat morning with my kayak.

Not sure how to answer your question. Almost all of the beach has a sandy bottom, so I guess you could come in as close as your boat would allow until you hit bottom.

I do not know if there are underwater objects. I see fishing boats running along the beach ~300+ yards out.

Shrimpers have not been doing good out there.
Most of them draft 3 to 4 ft.

Yeah i've been to the beach a couple times this summer, and the determining factor in catching fish it seems is just catching some good water out there with low winds.
