Miserable Day 2
Message:
High tide for Dennisport was scheduled for 2:54pm Sunday. NWS was originally predicting rain to last throughout the afternoon but found the forecast had changed to rain ending by noon with a few lingering showers and skies gradually clearing. Picked up a rental bike and headed over to the mouth of the Swan River. Got there an hour or so prior to high tide. Found a father with 3 kids fishing there and he said the schoolies were active up until a half hour before I got there due to the tide getting closer to peak high. I threw a number of lures out there but only had a tail swipe on a mullet Saltwater Skitter Pop SSP-12. The big issue was non-stop wind knots on the 20 pound braid. I had a few on Day 1 but Day 2 was a very bad day with the wind knots. Gonna go to the local bait shop Monday to see if they have mono leaders because I didn't have anymore at home and wasn't expecting this, even though I've only used the 8 footer with 20 pound braid once so far this year in CT.

What braid are you using because I very rarely get knots with power pro slick 8! You really need to give up the day fishinv and head out at night if you really wZnt to catch fish

The 10 pound Power Pro on the schoolie setups hasn't given me these issues. Plan is to sell the reel with the 20 pound braid still on it and use the PayPal money to replace it with a 5000 model for 17 pound mono. The mono I use for surf and saltwater is Sufix Tritanium, which is a heavy duty copolymer with great casting. You need to talk with my mom about me heading out at night. Mothers never stop getting concerned about their kids no matter how old we are.
