I will be fishing PLO this Saturday with the fam. I'll be fishing from shore and yaks. Ill be paired with a blue yak and a tan yak. Give me a shout if any of you fellow yakkers are out there. I will keep yall posted on the report.

Good luck- I try to avoid weekend at state parks- they get so crowded with immigrants and rowdies that use foul language around kids and women that get me in trouble.

Ron I'm just the opposite. I love being around those guys on the weekends...though I do prefer the sober guys. Reminds me of my years living in Guatemala.....which I miss.

Just don't bring the wife and daughter- when I am by myself, it doesn't bother me- I am just "old school" about respect for women and kids with bad language- I have a "potty mouth" being an old fleet sailor but I am mindful of it and tone it down around mixed company. Younger folks seem to use the "F" word and the "MF" words like you and I use "the" and "and."

You know the crowd wasn't that bad. I think it was the wind and potential storm brewing. I didnt know it was going to be that windy. I brought the yaks but said forget it after we saw the wave caps. Don't you hate it when people show up when it's pitch black out and try to get close to your lantern light. That didn't last long!

So we get there at about 4pm just in time for the incoming high at 8. Spot on BWs started picking up. Blue action was limited with about 4 caught on live bait (shrimp, cut spot). We set up shop by the lighthouse btw, Bay side. Croaker was also caught on BW. Fishing was slow throughout the night but we still decided to stay until morning and thats when the fun began!!!

6am Sunday morning, incoming tide and I decide to try artificial. Water was calm enough to yak but too lazy/tired to put in. Started with gulp swimming mullet and bam tail gets bitten and def a solid bite. Used a couple more but tired of bitten tails so switched to jerk shad. That was the ticket. I caught about 7 blues, 3 were keepers, and 6 stripers of which 2 were keepers. 19 and 20 inches. I also used a Kastmaster for the pesky blues.

Fish total: 1 croaker, 15 spot, 7 blues, 2 stripers. My fiancé also helped contribute to the count! Looking forward to the next trip!

Good fishing- all you needed was a Spanish mackerel and a flounder and you would have had a Bay slam!
