Does anybody else here fish the Island?
When I lived south of here Plum Island was a location I frequented at least once a week. But since moving up here I only get off the beach about once or twice a year.
Not this year, I'm heading back to the beaches with a two hander. If you've never hit a big beach it is a life altering experience. There is something about casting over 4 foot breakers to breaking schoolies and looking 6 feet ahead of you at a tail the size of a dinner plate cruising up the trough.
Next month I’ll start to make some low tide walks on the beach to get a feel for things. I usually start fishing mid April. Sand eels and silversides come into the beach before heading up river.
Besides the standard “candy” patterns yellow or chartreuse gurglers worked well through mid May.
