J. Marley Good thought. I did throw some heavier stuff to see if there were bigger fish underneath. Didn’t make it into the video because I didn’t have any success with that.
I was there today and fished off of the same rock you were on at the beginning of your video. The wind was horrendous. Hard NNW. I started fishing for tog just past the railing, and three times I had albies busting 20 feet in front of me. I tried for them with a 2 ounce silver kastmaster reeled directly through them with no takers. I went back to the local bait store and bought a Deadly Dick. I then went out to end of the jetty where you were, I was also on the outgoing tide. But with that wind it was tough. I had no action at all. I plan on putting up a short video of how rough the water was, because I don't have any fish to show in this video.LOL The albies were busting on small baitfish.
George Shields I was wondering if they would be around today but I didn’t have a big enough window to get over there myself. In a way, I’m glad I didn’t go because it would have been hugely frustrating to be there casting to fish that were feeding but refusing to hit!
I think the albies didn't bite because I didn't match the hatch. They were hitting on small baitfish. My kastmaster had a larger profile then what they were chasing. By the time I got the deadly dick, they were gone.
Always good to keep a 5/8 or even 3/8 epoxy jig on hand just in case. You are right that the Kastmaster is more of a peanut bunker imitation, whereas the epoxy jig mimics smaller bait fish with more slender, elongated profiles.
Really well made video!! Fished here many times. I'd woulda tried to get underneath those blues with a heavier bucktail....
