Fished white buoy beach in MA 123 from 8:00 until 1:00 today. 38° when I started and mid 40’s when I quit when the tide puked out.
Nice cloud cover, good water movement and just a bit of wind to create a chop.
Decent day with over a dozen fish to hand. Action was either good or dead. Fish were podded up or it was just casting into dead water. Walked a bit over two miles back and forth and only found fish in three spots.
I was working my way down current and noticed fish rising between a sunken point and the white buoy. I finally got to a point where I could cast to those fish and caught five out of that group and missed a few others.
The only lone fish was the biggest of the day. It came about five minutes into fishing. I could see it tracking the fly then the white of its mouth as it opened to take the fly. Three jumps later and into the net. Kind of a skinny fish, likely post spawn.
Used the same fly all day, a small 2” bead chain eye sandlance. Probably should have played the small game on the risers but not my favorite way to fish them.
Some nice spotting and color on some of the fish .
Puget Sound and Hood Canal continue to suck.
