I got an early start in the rain and headed east. Drift was to the NW as the incoming started, fish on immediately; hit the hi hook on the bucktail rig -a nice almost 20"er. Into the box you go, man this seems easy with the sand eels.
Set up to repeat same spot another just short. Then robbins. Stripped one up, got a skate. More shorts, then a doggie woof. More drifts, more rain, more shorts, I was trying the bring em in slow tactic so flukey wouldn't see the boat til I had the net under him, seemed to be working.
Lots of action, moved around the same area, boxed another at 19". He actually looked small, swung him in no net style, then was pleasantly surprised he passed the stick. He whacked the bucktail tipped with robbin strip.
Then I hooked what I thought was a boofish- fighting like holy hell and taking drag. Got him to the boat, wasn't going to net him but shoulda cuz when I peeked at him it was a nice weakie, estimated 18" maybe bigger beautiful coloring but dropped him at the boat.
By this time many boats had seen my antics and came over, so I put it in L for leave. The tide was about done, so I slipped over to the secret hole, nuttin doin, no fish no drift, fired up a stogie to wait for the change.
Saw some birds diving nearby, cruised in low and slow, cast the ava, no takers. Back to the golden grounds for the start of the outgoing but I was done after a few more driftsand a few more shorts.
Nice day, lots of action, 2 keeps, and the RB garbagefish trifecta. Back around 12.
