Today my family decided to go clamming and fishing today. They went to the bay and I went to CHSP for triggers and possibly fluke. On monday I saw a total of 4 flounder taken from the pier and the wall.
I launched around 1:30 pm at the beach and need to get a cart ASAP I'm getting tired of dragging my kayak through the sand. Since it was pretty late in the day I decided that it would take to long to make my way out to the outer wall and decided to stay at the inner wall. On my way out to the wall there was little to no wind and began drifting all along the wall during which I managed 1 large croaker, however the wind picked up and it forced me to head around the crescent for cover. I met a couple on a boat who had just come from the outer wall and they said things were getting rough there too...lucky me. I caught another croaker there and then moved on. while moving up the wall I noticed some slab shaped fish dart by along the wall and that's when me heart started beating.
From my last trip I determined that the triggerfish like to stick to the surface/ right up against the rocks, but I have not proved this yet. I then got some sand fleas that I had caught the day before and chummed the water, eventually saw a few break the surface showing their telltale trigger. Then I began throwing sand fleas left and right and the next thing you know I have a whole school beneath me along with a bunch of baby blues. All I had to do then was drop down a baited hook and hooked up with 4 triggerfish the largest at 15'' but one came off the hook, however just as soon as it started they were gone the whole event lasted about 15 minuets? Not exactly sure was to busy fishing.
Feeling like 3 was enough I made my way up the wall to head back as the wind began picking up some more soo decided to call it a day. I reached the end of the pier around 4:30ish. There I decided to anchor and snap a few photos while fishing for a few croakers locating a school of dinks. I left and discovered that my brothers caught a 9 large spot and 15 croaker as well as 20+ clams. It was a great day on the water.
While putting our stuff away and tidying up after the trip I also noticed a guy in his kayak fishing in the surf ...I might just try that next time just maybe...P7310024.jpg
