Inspirational Quote of the Day:
"Choose to be optimistic, it feels better." - Dalai Lama

 

Pesky SW winds and morning low tides knock the luster off and lower early temptations.  Again it's overcast though not socked in with various sprays and mists around every corner.  Temp of 59F and clearing expectations with sun raring to unleash if allowed.  NW windswell grows.  SW swell holds and all the elements are available though not quite measured or organized just yet.  As the tide fills and the winds calm, those willing to lay claim to some slides should have their wishes granted. 

 

CHANNEL: Surf perch and striper season is open access on the low and negative tides.  Appropriate waders in effect with long casters garnering the most action.  Tide rises fast so expect a quick turnaround in players with upbeat sliders exploring options as the NW windswell allows.  Sandbar spacing is judiciously placed with sectioned breakers thigh high and above on tap.

 

PATCH:  Holding steady swell waiting on reliable water levels as rock pickers probe stashes in the early hours.  Findings are currently few and far between though treasures can be mined by those with a keen sense of place and time.  Incoming tides have given a gentle push and smoothed out the rough edges with up to waist high goodness apparent at times.
