Skitter Pop Schoolies
Message:
Headed back to the Fayerweather jetty Tuesday to fish the sandy flats of the beach and wade into the shallower areas on the Black Rock Harbor side. Arrived just after 1:30pm with low tide scheduled for 3:10pm.
Started in Black Rock Harbor and stuck with the FLR-10 and SP-9. The FLR-10 landed me 5 sea robins and had no swirls or explosions on the SP-9.
On the turn of the tide I checked out the sandy flats on the beach side. Couldn't fish there due to 2 to 3 foot waves cause by a steady 8 to 12 mph southeast wind.
Went back over to Black Rock Harbor where I landed another sea robin with the FLR-10 and later saw a school of bunker with blues chasing them. They were just out of reach but had 1 nice explosion on the SP-9 when I was able to get just close enough to the school.
Once the tide was too high to be in Black Rock Harbor, I went to the city boat ramp where I waded out. Caught 2 more sea robins with the FLR-10. Later towards sunset, schoolies got active on the surface.
Caught a total of 6 schoolies ranging from 14 to 18 inches with the SP-9.
Saw a local surf casting buddy there who was throwing some bigger topwaters and doing a faster retrieve than me. He had 1 explosion and caught a schoolie while I was getting more action with the SP-9. I sold him the other SP-9 I had with me and once he threw that out there and followed the retrieve I was doing, he was into the schoolies as well.
Hit the road around 7:30pm

Wholesale on Ebay and sell for retail in public :wink:
About the retrieve, another surf fisherman was wading in Black Rock Harbor by the jetty while I was out there when the bunker came. He was throwing a floating popper about 4 1/2" and doing a faster chugging. Once I showed him the retrieve that caught me the big tailors, he set the hook on 2 blues.
