Myself and a Friend sliped away for 3-4 hours on sunday for some pullage.
We arrived at the park @ 1:30 pm to a sunny mild wonderful day. Suprisingly there was very few people on the water for as nice of a day as it was.
We put in and i trolled a clark spoon and a spro bucktail all the way down to the mouth of weems creek. Had one bluefish 12-14 inches chase the bucktail out of the water as i was reeling in which i thought was pretty cool. Had to clean off grass from both lures multiple times during the paddle down so i decided to switch to the ultralight and work some of the deeper water oyster bars and hard bottom. Thanks to JA Veils map i set up in about 15 feet of water over some oyster shells and started picking up 8-12" White perch right away. Put 20 or so in the box over 10" within 40 minutes and threw as many back sub 10". Had several short rockfish 12-17" as well all jigging metal vertically.
We saw several boats working the route 50 bridge pilings so we decided to take a paddle to some deeper water structure on the bridge pilings.
Once there we dropped and started hooking up right away once again 8-11" fish one after anothner basically until we got tired of catching. We also caught several more short rockfish 12-17" (No keepers today). Unlike some of the photos i have seen lately of sickly looking rockfish these were fat and healthy looking.
The best part of the day for me was hooking two perch at the same time on the same lure. 3/4" silver buddie with one perch on each trebble man they were hungry!!!
Good day on the water.. Looking forward to some more fall fishing next weekend.
