Darn - 15 to 20# blues..should have stuck around Falmouth longer today.
Anyways; yesterday in the storm the water was clear(and whipped white), today it was mud and weed. Got to say though it would have taken serious cojones to hang on that beachfront yesterday w/ the wind blowing at 40-65...
S. Cape does have this ongoing reputation as the place to be when the wind is howling. This is about the 5th time I've heard the same tale in the past 3 years,
usually on a storm from the south quarter.
FWIW - its topography is a steep dropoff to perhaps 8' very quickly for almost its entire length with the 8' depth slowly sloping out to about 15' of depth a half mile out. The greatest depth change is right at the shore. There's a massive sandbar shoal, Succonnesset, a mile offshore (southeast)of it. W/ a howling wind from the ESE as was going on yesterday, any bait and fish on that shoal are going to be on the beach in no time.
Curious what time/tide the blues hit on for my mental scrapbook. Low was about 5PM yesterday..
Something to keep in mind for the next storm. FWIW-2. I saw serious bird action at about 3 off the semisubmerged jetty at falmouth heights; same rough topography as S. Cape. It was too nasty to go down and check it out; but there was something going on in the east pocket of that jetty.
