Fished the surf from 4:30-6:00 used mullet because it was so rough. So I got 1 bite and 1 fish a nice 22" trout. Another guy was fishing with shrimp beside me he caught nothing. Water was nice and clear.

I fished the surf hard all afternoon and evening with nothing to show for it. It was not too rough in my opinion and I was able to get to the third bar without swimming (about a mile west of the pass). The problem was that with two tide days there is such a long slack period with no water movement. I finished the last two hours of daylight chest deep in the pass where the SLP Pier used to be. This has been a great May spot for me in the past on an outgoing tide, but at dusk yesterday still no water movement which equals no fish. I wish I could have stayed and fished first light this morning when there should have been a pretty strong incoming tide. The day was not a total bust, however as I took my British girlfriend (who had never caught a fish of any kind) back to the Coast Guard Station and was able to put her on 3 undersized specs before we hit the beach.
