I hit the Packery Channel south jetty just before dark today. I travelled light with just one rod, my little green tackle box, and a small cooler with some frozen shrimp and a couple of beers. The surf was small, the tide high, and the water clear. I posted up near the base of the jetty on the surf side and soaked small pieces of shrimp on bottom with a small hook and a 1 oz weight. I kept my bait close to the edge of the rocks.
I got small bites right away. After catching a couple of nice croakers on Tuesday I thought today was going to be more of the same. Not so much. I lost a couple of baits before landing my first fish – a small whiting. I took a quick pic and released it.
