Surprise Catch at the Reef 8/19
Message:
Member GKolyagin (Genna) and I hit the Reef Sunday evening. Got out there around 6:45pm with low tide scheduled for 7:23pm. Nothing was happening on the surface this time except for snappers. I tried casting with the chrome Skitter Pop SP-9 on both sides and Genna tried throwing an Atoms but no luck. Genna had no luck with a silver Flat Rap FLR-10. I was into sea robins pretty soon while doing that jerk and pause retrieve with the olive green Clackin Minnow CNM-9 like that other time. One bigger sea robin broke the lower part of the wire leader when it shook so I lost the Clackin Minnow. Genna threw a glass ghost XR-10 out there and did the same retrieve which had sea robins going too. Later we went over to the Bridgeport side. No topwater action there the whole evening. 2 lures I played with other than the Skitter Pop were a spotted minnow Saltwater X-Rap SXR-10 and flake blue sardine Max Rap MXR-13. Stuck with the jerkbait retrieve. Genna never saw any swirls on his Atoms and stuck with the Clackin Minnow. I caught a bunch of sea robins and 2 fluke with 1 being a 16" keeper. Also foul hooked 2 spider crabs. Genna was hitting the sea robins hard too with 1 being a monster that did 1 short run on him with 12 pound mono.

We never even thought that a porgy would hit a minnow plug! The 12 incher did a short run like the sea robin did.

All in all we got a combination of fish with 3 keepers[/url]
