Slow at Seaside 6/20
Message:
After waking up late Wednesday and hardly feeling tired overnight, I decided to head down to Seaside Park Thursday morning. High tide for Bridgeport was scheduled for 8:59am and got to the Fayerweather jetty around 5:45am. Lures I played with included original pearl shad Flat Rap FLR-10, glass ghost Clackin Minnow CNM-11, chrome Skitter Pop SP-9, stainless steel blue mullet Saltwater Skitter Pop SSP-9, 3/4 ounce Krocodile, 3/8 ounce Krocodile, shad Shallow Shad Rap SSR-9, blue sardine Saltwater X-Rap SXR-10, mullet Saltwater Rattlin Rapala SRNR-8, speckled trout Saltwater Skitter Walk SSW-11, and 4" Berkley Havoc Subwoofer rigged on a 3/4 ounce Hurricane jighead. I couldn't go too far out on the jetty and farther to the island because of a big mosquito hatch due to all the rain. Fayerweather Island is "mosquito land" when you have enough rain. Last year there was hardly any out there due to it being dry. Nothing happened on the Black Rock Harbor side of the jetty. On the opposite side I was starting to see a few swirls and splashes here and there with smaller bait that seemed to be silversides jumping out of the water. The fish would come and go and couldn't get to them most of the time even if I threw the heavier metal out there. Whenever I got in the zone I never had a single hit. Eventually caught a sea robin with the Berkley and had a soft bump on the smaller Kroc. Once tide got high and started to turn, things died. Checked out the boat ramp and gave it a few casts with nothing. Also worked the rocky stretch and Breezy Point with no luck. Last stop was Remington just to see what the action was like. A chunker caught a striper but had no other hits so I decided not to bother. Hit the road around 10:45am. When I stopped at Remington I saw the chunker kept his small catch. I was talking to the only other fisherman there who said he's from Florida and doesn't fish CT much, which made me wonder if he had an out of state license. Kept my mouth shut about rules and regs so once I got back to the parking area I called the local game warden on his cell. Within 5 minutes he was there and the 2 fishermen were still fishing. That's when I hit the road and left the rest t the officer.
