My dad's company got permission to fish inside the spillway and I was allowed to accompany dad as a guest. We've been 4-5 times before and have occasionally done well on trout but always got our limit of reds, sometimes in 30 minutes sometimes in 2 hours.
But today we were presented with 37 degree temps with 20-30 kt winds and tides at least 3-4 foot below normal. It was a little chilly. And to top things off the plant wasn't even running, so there was no warm water. We went anyways though and started fishing at 7:30 am. I hooked up pretty quick with a good red, I'm sure well over the slot, and fought him for 5 minutes or so until he got smart and raked my line of the oysters. 6-7 lost jigheads and several expletives later, I hooked up with my biggest striper yet, just shy of 20 inches on a stinky grub-tail gulp. After that, we couldn't buy a bite. Called it a day around 10 or so.
I also took some pics of the low tides.....
