	7/04/09 OMG! The sun! There was a sunrise this morning but the water is still brown and the bait will not move into the bay.. Blues where the fish of the day. Fished with Kurt at spots 9,8,7,6 and across from them to get 6 or seven blues. Hay its July 4th! & its been raining for 30 days so I’m kind of happy? :/ No, rain the upcoming week so try harder. (big pic) VIDEO COMING' 7/03/09 Awesome weather, great conditions but the water was tea brown. At first I though it was Brown’s fault that I was not catching fish today but it’s the color of the water not J.Browns fault. :( One fish and that's not bad because NO fish or bait wanted to swim in this water.Well just the stupid one that bit my hook. Try once more this weekend.. 4:27am –8:30am	7/01/09 Fished with J today both front & back. One bass & one blue on the front. Then to the back where J got two small bass & I got one blue s$!% they are here but its that time of the year for them. Water is still brown & there is little bait so hope for the best. Spots 15,16,17,18 (no they are not on the map yet :) on the front & up from 1,2 & 3 in the back. So you want to fish the front this year? Leave your WADERS at home! This beach has just gotten a lot harder to fish as the storms have cut right up into the dunes. The beach is short & filled with ditches that will fill with water quickly having you swimming for shore. There will be no margin for error for coming in off the sand bars this year. Playing the dropping tide & incoming will have to be timed to a tie. If the bait does come in it’s going to be neat. Big pools up high on the beach like 1999-2000. The eel guys will also have to stay out all night because a high tide now covers 80% of the beach & walking back in the dunes is a hanging affiance; dang plovers! :) A few of the eel vampires might melt when the sun comes up? :)









6/27/09 The I team got this weather forecast wrong! Sunny, happy & rainbows my foot! FOG & more FOG! Bass in the 25-29 inch range Full report ) (extra pic)		6/03/09 Well 4:20am to 6:30am from one plie up to the 3ed and one flow. Its still super slow but the water is warmer?
