SurfSide Rig Report 8-28

Postby jlai92 » Mon Aug 29, 2011 12:57 am

got to surfside and was hoping for a good day
Image
wind was blowing a little more than last two time we went but wasnt too bad.
got to the 4 mile rig and the water clarity was pretty bad... it was a sandy green,
Image
so decided to hit the 6 mile rig looking for better water,
Image
the water wasnt that much better, it was just green with no hint of blue like last time.
Image
well decided to try and threw out a ribbon fish, and tried the ratltrap. no luck. tide was out going
started to use shrimp and just catch some angel fish for the time being.
Image
then a baby amber jack
Image
caught a few of these too
Image
after that i decided to look for better water conditions..... so i went to the 6 mile rig to the right.... got there to find the same green water.... caught a few more angel fish, then headed back to the 4 mile rig to see if the waters changed over there... got there and it was the same, saw facehook and his family and they said they havent caught much... so i decided to go back to the 6 mile rig... same condition.... so i looked out... and saw the 11 mile rigs...

well turned to my dad and said were going to try there... he said ok, on the way to the 11 mile rig as i got closer i saw 4 or 5 rigs out there that are all pretty close to each other... i was getting excited when i started to see that hint of blue in the water..... so im gonna guess i was about 1-2 miles away from the rig.... when my turn buckle crapped out and had unscrewed it self from all the waves and bouncing.... rack flew in to the water in no time. lost 4 rods. but luckily i had put noodles on my rack and the cooler was bungeed to the rack. so i still had some fish. was so close....
heres the water clarity to where i had gotten....
Image
you can see the rigs im talking about !

Sorry to hear about the lost tackle.I Just joined but would love to make the trip any time you ready. I have only fished close to the shore so far. Don't want to go that far alone..lol. But i have managed to land a few 4'-5' Black tips. Found my rope around their tail helps to calm them so i can get the hook out without loosing any limbs.
