Meat Fishing
Thursday February 10, 2000
Hey spent a nice four days fishing West Beach around the water
tower. Day one we, me and the wife, had fun meat fishing. Using peeled shrimp and a basic
surf sinker and a double drop leader. We hit the Whiting on the second sand bar. Most of
them were in the 12 to 14 inch slot with 4 going to 18 inches. The second day was slow but
put 12 nice ones in the ice chest. They changed cuts and were in between the beach and the
first sand bar. You have to find them so try every thing from the beach to as far out as
you dare to go. The third day was a storm blow out. With the last day to go things turned
to be a meat fisherman's dream. I put 33 in the ice chest none smaller than 14 inches and
one over-sized Red. What a fight on a spinning reel. One other thing, I hooked a sting So
watch the feet and legs!
