Penfield Reef
Message:
I moved to ffld last summer but didn't get out on to penfield reef until recently. I have been out fishing a few times now, mostly at night with the out going and have yet to get a hit. My most recent trip was this past Sunday. Low tide was 8:10 and I fished from 6 to 8. I only saw one fish hit some bait, made a few casts with a small plug but nothing. A guy out there said there were fish around on saturday. I have been trying plugs, divers and plastics. I have talked to a few guys while out on the reef and they all tell me not to give up hope. Anyone have any tips or suggestions?

Currently with warm water temps, it's just the smaller fish out there. Instead of using a heavier setup with those bigger plugs, throw a topwater or shallow plug in the 3 to 5 inch range. Last time I was out I only got sea robins with 1 fluke in the mix. All came on a Rapala Clackin Minnow CNM-9. Bluefish have disappeared. I'm always willing to help out cause I've been fishing there since I was 10

Went out last night @ 8:00, HT was 8:10. Hooked up on a few small blues (12 inches and smaller) using light weight gear and a small popper. Good fun. Thanks.
