When did you go to Mea's Beach? You must have got lost and ended up there?*****... You know when you leave the club, turn east to get home.
If it was for the meet and greet, there was three of us that showed up. Longcast, my brother and myself. A gallon of margrita's and a case of Naturals. Speaking of which, Jason, any help available with the PO-PO issue?

Hit the beach a couple of weeks ago, only to find a 12-14 mph wind out of the south and dirty water. We did not even try fishing there that day.

Today the winds were very light [2 to 5 mph] all morning, but the water was only fair. Visability was 3" to 10" depending on the time of morning.

The fishing was slow [for me]. I caught 2 good Trout on topwater as the sun was coming up. Then only a few blowups over the next hour. As the sun came up, schools of bait started showing up and fish were really chasing the bait. But nothing would strike the topwater with all the "action" going on.

I switched to Sand eels and a few other baits and colors.....but never got any hits. SpecksNdaSURF [and 2 partners] showed up a little while after I had started fishing. They had caught ~ 7 Trout and maybe a Red] while I was trying to figure out how to catch another fish.

With the fish busting live bait.....I got the castnet. I caught a few finger mullet and more shad than 10 people could have used.

My first shad produced a dink trout....but this was a good start. Then in the next 45 minutes, I caught ~ 10 catfish. So I went back to throwing soft plastic and trying a few different baits....with no luck.

I talked with specksNda SURF again and he told me Opening Night was the only color he was having any luck catching fish on. He gave me one of his to try and said they were still catching a trout every now and then.

After many more cast..... sometimes into areas where fish were busting the bait, still no more trout. I finally caught a keeper Redfish behind the rocks. I picked up 2 more Reds in that same area, and my line broke on another fish....should have probably retied my jig head because I lost the bait that was given to me.

I tied on a similar bait and did catch 1 more Red.

Final total was 4 Reds and 2 trout. It was a fun day, but having so much action of bait and fish busting the surface......and not even getting a strike......will give me something to think about, until the next trip to Holly Beach.
