Left home with little man about 6 for Ft. Matanzas. We would have arrived at 7am but on SR 206 when we hit Rt 1 we discovered the bait shop there on the south corner is no more. It was replaced by a used tire store. Up Rt 1 we went to the Avid Angler to get bait.
Finally arrived at Matanzas and had our first line in about 8am. Then the blues showed up and continued to show up. We deployed four rods two short and two long. The short one 8' & 9' put bait in only about 6-9 inches of water. The 11' and 10'6" rods put bait in about 9" - 2 feet of water. It was low tide and a long way from the water line to deeper water. The blues kept showing up. Finished with 6 blues one whiting and a 3" under slot red that went back. Was hoping for some slot reds and keeper black drum. Started feeling run down just before arriving there and decided to pack it in at 10 am. On the road at 10:30 with some fish to clean.
Probably going to shut it down until the day after Thanksgiving and travel then to the Cape. Going forward I'm probably going to put the Surf rods up and hit the piers and bridges a few times to try for some Sheeps and Black Drum.
Thanks for letting me know about the bait store. I planned on going there next week!

ReplyDeletebait store is across the street on the s/w corner of the intersection
ReplyDeleteAre you saying it changed corners?
