Fished 12 hours on Sat, 6:30 - 6:30. All I can say is HOLY WIND! When I pulled up to the launch I saw a 21ft boat coming in to dock. It took him easily 15 minutes to simply dock the boat in the wind, and at that point I looked over into the inlet (first time at plo) all I saw were white caps in the inlet. Hmmm, this didn't look anything like the pleasant videos I've seen on MKF.
I switched off hunkering down behind each jetty till the wind calmed down enough to move up behind the rock piles. At one point there were 2-3ft waves crashing the wooden poles nest to the rock piles.
Later in the day it calmed down and when I left as the sun was setting it was peaceful and serene. I worked for my fish.
Met up with <MIKE> and fished most of the day with him. Awesome fishing with you, we'll have to do it again.
I caught a ton of spot on fishbites, I took sabiki rigs and divided them into 3 rigs.
Everything else was caught on jig heads and gulp mullets 4".
First ever Red Drum and first croaker of the year. No Specks.
Mike and I worked the point where I caught my biggest drum of the day. Then trolled half way out to the buoy jigged our way back, found the rock pile I was advised about and made our way back to the beach rock piles and into the inlet.
The fish turned on at about 4-5ish at the inlet, Mike and I caught a ton of stripers and puppy drum, we were tearing them up. Was an awesome ending to getting pounded all day in 3ft seas.
12 hours, don't know how many miles, 20knot winds (?) covered in salt, beat and tired.
