Went down last night after work to catch the 9:00 PM low tide off of Robbins Hill. A lot more vacationers fishing out there now, but they pretty much folded up their tents and left before the tide turned in. By dark there were only a few people there but at a perfect tide stage for this place.
If you had sand eels (and I did), you could catch all the schoolies you wanted to 24 inches or so. Not a tap on lures or flies or even eels. (Amazing how selective these fish can get at times). No keepers this trip but I had many pick-up-and-drop hard runs that I simply couldn't hook fast enough. At times, the technique of slowly dragging a sand eel along the bottom until the line tightened on a fish worked better than just letting the rig sit out there (it's also less boring than still-fishng). Maybe it looks to the strpier like the sand eels are trying to burrow in the sand and escape. On the way back in, I stopped to listen in the shallows and all you could hear were the sounds of small fish slapping bait.
Now if I could only figure out how to entice them to hit a fly...
