10/9/08 West Bay report
Location: Lower West Bay
weather: Clear
Wind: 10 to 12 out of the northeast
Tides: Normal
Water temp: upper 70's
Water clarity: 1'
Bays: slightly choppy
Baits: Arties
Report:
Left Sea Isle at 630 and headed over to some of the sheels pads that have been producing the last few weeks for me. The bite was tougher than I really expected this morning. Did not see near the Trout slicks that I had seen in previous days. We did scratch out a few Trout on the first reef to 21". Still no topwater action to report. Everything caught today on Assassins. Plum still the most effective bait right now. Moved over to some of the reefs in Chocolate near the channel were we scratched out a few more Trout to 18". Water looked good in Chocolate aswell. We ended the day with 18 Trout and 1 20" Flounder. All fish caught off of shell pads in 2 to 5' of water. Shell pads are holding plenty of bait right now but I just didn't see the slicks as I have the past few days.
For all you bird workers out there. There are birds starting to work pretty hard in Chocolate Bay and in lower West Bay. Been seeing alot of bird action near Tire Reef all the way up to Alligator Point.
