Thursday, November 29, 2007: Waves: Building south swell to a couple feet. Water clarity: Good. Southerly winds have arrived as expected, making things chilly but putting surfside bassing very high on the potentiality list; schoolies like a bit of a stir to get them near the beach.

The weather is rearing up so the weekend must be coming. The problem is mainly winds – a bit of spit-age -- but boy are the gusts gonna rock and roll, maybe pushing 40 mph—and not settling much below 20 through Monday. Sorry, boat anglers. Surfcasting will be tolerable…

Plugability: Very good, early day and even during high sun, post-stir has smaller bass in the mix; popper still prime with slowly retrieved black of very bright swimmers working with stained water. Jigs fair.
