Today’s weather is foul, but the fish are here, so dress up and go fishing. Rainy and about 55 degrees, but not too windy. Don Lappin absolutely loves these conditions, especially on the flats. He’s been having great success using white bucktails jerked along in the shallows and along the dropoffs.

 

Nate went out last night on the beach and was connecting for a while on nearly every cast. He was using needlefish. Back out again today he’s not had such luck, but with the tide at 2:40 pm it my light up again.

 

Cause it’s such a cold, wet day, I thought I’d add my so-far favorite photo from the archives. Lucia Morelli from 1968 with a lovely June fish.

    So, I have always fished the mouth of the river, on the rocks or besides them, but I want to try somewhere new. If I go into the refuge where should I fish? Any help would be great. Thanks.

    Nate,
    The only access to the beach this time of year is in parking lots 1, 3, and 7. Eithero of those palaces have been producing early in the morning. At lot 7 there is a large boulder field called Emerson Rocks. That’s a good place, especially at the end of the tide. You can also walk all the way around the southernmost point of the island and find fish coming out of the Parker River. Good luck.
