I myself like calmer nights,some times the rough surf is fun to fish in sometimes it's not,I have done well in rough surf with eels with 1/4 or 1/2 oz. egg sinker they hold better other wise they will be at your feet before you can retrieve your line.2 years ago I walked over 1mile to a point to fish in a huge noreaster,there was no beach had to walk up in the dunes to get there it was insane,I put myself on the lee side off the point and did well landing 2 very nice fish.The spot I fished this year was dead on nights with big surf.and if the surf was to big it was to dangoures to be there making it nesaserry to go to plan B.Yet my largest this year come from that spot on a rough night.

even thou I might be confessing to a surfcasting crime by saying this, some spots fish better in the daytime when it is snotty then at night I landed more then a few fish over 20# in rough water during the day to go back at night and get skunked.

Dawn, with a nice stiff breeze in my face and birds going ape really makes me happy. Kastmasters to 4oz. or light colored heavy plugs.  |

One of my fishing-New Years resolutions is to fish the big surf whenever possible. During a BIG BLOW last September I was scouting the oceanfront along the N. Shore. The wave heights were easily 8-12ft and coming in steady sets. It is what I determined to be "unfishable" conditions. I stopped among the wave-watchers and saw one "idiot" standing at the waters edge on a small rock with 4 feet of white-wash breaking around him, heaving casts out past the first wave. The was so much weed being tossed around that his line was caked with it every 2 or 3 feet. As I watched, his line was bent way over and I assumed it was from all the weeds. To make this long story shorter- after about 20 minutes he pulled the biggest bass I have ever seen taken in person out of the wash- 40lbs. He was using a mega-bait or crippled herring and braided line.
So... I will be loading up on heavy metal and waiting for the first Nor'Easter to barrel through. Bring it on!

Sounds good Back Beach. Love that scene.  |
The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

stale air? well open a window then.  |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
