Jan Juc beach
Re: Jan Juc beach
Hey ante,at low tide you can see some flat rocks right on the waterline,I fished the right edge of the rocks .At low tide you can walk out to the sandbar,be careful as the tide comes in as the backwash around the rocks can carve a bit of a channel and may drag you out a bit if you're not aware.I used surf rods with 20lb braid with 5-10mtrs of 30lb mono,seemed to get a decent cast in.Also tie your soft baits like pillies on with bait elastic or they'll come off during the cast.If fishing at night use glow sticks for your rod tips so you can see what's going on, can get packs of 20 from reject shop or similar for a coupla bucks,also headlamps are a good thing,better than the old torch,also fairly cheap these days depending on the quality. Try and fish when the swell and wind aren't too big or you'll have trouble with baits holding out and obviously lose distance if its not offshore wind.This beach can get busy during the day with surfers and swimmer's so would recommend night fishing,if you can otherwise just have a go,hope this helps. Cheers
