    Headed down next week, what’s hitting?

    Headed down this upcoming weekend and I’m wondering what’s hitting this time of year?

    and anyone know how flounder fishing from the surf is going?

    Should be... There's the keyword, 'Should'.
    There should be plenty of Flounder, Spanish, Reds, Blues, Specks, Whiting and Ground Mullet and White trout.
    A few Kings and Black drum, and even some Pompano here and there if you stay after them.

    You can expect this glorious fall weather to continue!
    And the water should stay fairly clear for the most part, with the exception of Tuesday.
    Forecast east winds 10-20, but calming after that.
    Note the early morning 'high' tide each day this week, but we are approaching a NEAP tide by the end of the week...

    Flounder fishing has been picking up generally, as the back bay water temps have cooled dramatically over the past week ...

    Let's not get you standing next to Haywire or no one will catch anything at all, not even a cold.

    I believe it is important to think positive. I usually spend the entire day on the pier and sometime during the day I usually have a good period. Very few days do I leave the pier feeling I have had a bad day.

    Got to throw a line in today while chasing kids and super excited for the week. Bait gone on each cast.

    Wifes first cast managed to hook onto 2 pomp’s on her rig at the same time. She was super pumped and showing off, then the keeper managed to spit the hook and the little 6 inches was left behind. As funny as it was, it hurt more to lose the keeper lol. 😂

    I judge my pier day by how much $$$ in lures I lost to sharks for the day.
