westport 8/11 humpback porgies
Message:
fished my usual spot in westport today. got there at 3:45pm to fish the out going high tide. for the last two weeks i've been stuck with the tail end of the out-going tides....it sucked! the spot was "UNUSUALLY" full with sunbathers today! :( i counted fifteen women spread out in that little space :shock: . i was just able to squeeze in on the left and throw out chunks parallel to the concrete wall/rock jetty. At 5pm enough people had left and i was able to get a second line in the water. one of the regulars had decent luck last week with keeper porgies and one fluke so i decided to give it a shot!.... take a break from the sea robbin juggernaut! bait shops were out of sandworms so i was stuck with clam strips( ZERO luck) all week. this weekend i had sandworms on a porgy rig! FYI:the tide was bad last week so i can't 100% blame the clams. by 7:00pm i had caught TOO many sea robins.1 14"-16" striper and 7 keeper porgies! the first two porgies were "HUMPBACKS" well over 12"....threw them.. plus one more back a seagull stole one,and i gave the last three to a regular who was hanging out with his kids. As the tide dropped, the porgies did seem to get a bit smaller.the smallest was just barely at the 10.5" minimum when i left at 7:15PM.

HAHAHA! that's funny!good point :lol: normally... that's a great thing, but this spot is only about 75ft wide so there's not a lot of wiggle room with that much "traffic". apart from some of the beauties in the water,there's canoes,kayaks,paddle boards and body surfers launching in and out of this space.it gets a little hairy when they swim or paddle into a braid line!
