Sorry for late reports.
Fished Brewster Flats last Friday afternoon. Hammered fish on outgoing and again on incoming. ON outgoing caught tons of little rats. The Tide started flooding around 5pm, we took over 50 fish up to 26 inches over the first two hours of the incoming. Lucky to take canoe out there. I was fishing the front of the channel with friend. I stayed out, he walked back to the outermost bar with his rod in his mouth. The water just flooded behind us in a matter of a heartbeat. (You really gotta be carful out there without a boat.) Friend luckily made it to canoe and picked me up. I can't even begin to describe how many fish were out there. There were bigger fish but I couldn't get my fly past little guys.
At slack low we were walking on the bars digging sand eels out of the bars. There were tons. What's funny though is last Sunday I was down there, same time, looking for sand eels in sand and couldn't find nearly as many. ALong with the lack of sand eels was a lack of fish. I didn't see much, it was a double star low though. Probably messed up the fish.
Anybody fish the flats this week?
Fished back of buttermilk last Saturday from shore and caught a bunch of schoolies up to 18 inches. The fish are so small there though. Anybody ever catch keeper size bass in buttermilk? I've never got anything over 25 inches in there. I usually just go cause its close to home.
