Got there about midnight .. Tide was almost low and no currents or rips .. Lite winds from the South and clear water .
Saw lots of Isopods swimming about as well as pods of Sandeels and even saw 3 fish crash the surface but did not get 1 bite .
Stayed until 3am and still like glass and low tide ??
Well the bait is there and so are the fish .. I guess these past cold days gave them lockjaw .

Seaford
Left the home front at 7am .. Yepp I was late :p Took me about an hour to get there because of traffic and school buses but I arrived at 8am . The tide was outgoing and almost low with little to no wind and crystal clear water .. Had birds diving and everything looked great .
Rigged up the BM 1.75" Fin"S" and 3 cast later ..

Picked them off at a good clip with an occasional Gill ..

It was about 4 Crappie for each Gill so I was happy :)
The size of the Crappie was very nice and they were fat and healthy ..

I made a move and found some Yellow Perch and LMB ..
The Yellows averaged about 9" but got some bigger and smaller ;)

The LMB were 3 times the size of the other day .. LMAO ! They were about 3" the other day and averaged 12" today ..

I kept seeing this HUGE bird that I have no idea what it was but it was really big .. I also saw an Eagle and seconds later a Hawk started to pick on the Eagle ?? The Hawk ran the eagle off .. That other bird whatever it was was A LOT bigger than the eagle and had huge Talons . I wish I could have got a shot of him .. I did get some of the Eagle and Hawk .. Not great pics as my camera doesnt take real good zoom shots .
