Launched around 730 Saturday on the beginning of the outgoing. Fished the end of the south jetty with green crab and sand fleas until the tide went slack, surface water temp was 70 deg and close to 5 ft of visibilty. Managed around a dozen tog, a few schoolie rock, some dink black sea bass and a sheephead. I didn't bother measuring anything but the tog seemed to max out around 15" and the sheephead was around 17". I crossed the inlet and started working my way towards the 50 bridge as the incoming started picking up and started jigging for flounder. Picked fish up both shallow and deep but the most productive spots were small points with current pushing up against them in 6fow. Landed a couple dozen with only 3 or 4 keepers in the mix and a big fish at 21". Called it a day around 1900.
Back on the water around 0545 sunday with the last of the incoming. Surface water temp at the south jetty was 73. Fished the south jetty on slack tide for a while with only a couple missed bites and decided to explore an offshore wreck I had seen on a map and see if there were any sheephead out there. Lots of marks once I go there but I was suprised to find triggers! The bite was hot but you had to be right on the wreck. Landed around 20 over the next couple hours and was only hooking every 4th or 5th fish. I decided to give it up and see if the sheephead had started biting at the jetty now that the tide was moving but no such luck. Landed a pair of tog and a couple more dink bsb in a few hours before deciding to fight through the outgoing tide back into the inlet and jigging for some more flounder. They were still biting and after picking up another 18 inch keeper I decided to call it a day around 1400.
A fun weekend with flat calm seas and hungry fish.
