Bayshore Beach Fishing on Thursday

[emcjim]

Beautiful days last Sunday and yesterday. Last Sunday, fished mostly sandworms. A few light hits that may have been bunker running into the line. Yesterday, fished lures as did most of the other fishermen at my location. Tried metal, a shad, and SP minnows. A 14" bass on a 1-1/2-oz Gator spoon at about 4 PM, 2 hours before high tide. Heard of a few similar-sized bass caught up and down the beach. Then about 6:30 PM, 1/2-hour into the outgoing, I got a hard hit -- 29" bass also on the Gator spoon. Many of the fishermen were looking for the start of the Spring Bluefish run -- not yet, but any day now. BTW, not expecting a "keeper", I had no cooler. so i gave the fish to someone walking off the beach.

Friday: Conditions looked good. Overcast, foggy, light wind. same spot as Thursday, but no hits for me. Threw lures from 3:30 PM to 7:45 PM.

Saturday (today): Sunny, brisk wind parallel to the beach, right-to left. The 1-1/2 oz Gator spoon produced a 27-1/2-inch bass about 3 hours before high tide. Then an hour, or so, later, a 13" bass on the spoon. Many more bait fishermen on the beach today than the previous 2 days. They did not seem to be doing much, however. BTW both of my bass were released, of course.
