Jaymann's Blog – November 2016 Archive (24)

Wednesday, November 30, 2016: Now that was some fog. I went to Holgate and even though there were next to no tracks in the sand – either human or vehicles – I had to drive at a crippled snail’s pace. I kid you not. The visibility was under 50 feet and close to zero now and again. It was a bit better on the rest of the…

UPDATE: South winds have begun, late-day. They'll be picking up. This should have a beach bite going by tomorrow. Unfortunately, there is also an out-of-the-blue groundswell arriving out of the east and north; -- three foot waves were showing with the rising tide. That wave action could stir things up a tad more than needed, nonetheless, think bait and two rods. Then, work a plugging rod to see…

Sunday, November 27, 2016: Just another partially-perfect day. The sun made here/there visits, while the ocean couldn’t have been nicer.  You likely guessed what made it only partially perfect ……

(I'm back in here later. Any reports from today would be appreciated.)

Wednesday, November 23, 2016: It was the Great Atlantic Aquarium out there today. Mid-Island saw some near-beach waters that were just about as crystal clear as our piece of sea gets. This is not a good surfcasting thing. It sure made it easy to see the near-beach pods of peanuts. The bunkies were pretty much BL…

Late-day update (full daily blog below): Headed to Holgate where the turbidity from the nearby beach replenishment has given the water an awkward looking tint ... not unlike sewer water. Sorry, but that's the shade. However, the water is not in any way polluted, just dingy.

As I note down below, the turbidity might actually help the bass bite a bit ... though not for me. I threw my arm off and registered zero…
