Nice one Alex. What's the gear you used?
Did you fish the morning with incoming tide?

It turns into a big day, have class until 5 afterwards but it's always worth it.

Not 100% sure what the tide was doing, I work on change of light and swell more so than tide. I'm running a 902 revolution and 5k sustain but any rod around 9' that can cast somewhere between 40 and 60 g and reel around that size will work.

Thanks!
Was that a 40gm lazer metal slug that you used?
I see, what was the swell on that day? 1m? Looks pretty low.
What's the ideal wind/swell to go to? I went there couple times last month with no success. Only couple small ones with bait.

I was using 40g gillies baitfish, swell was 1-1.2m can't remember exactly. I just look for either light wind or offshore wind and low swell.
If you want to do well with lures ditch the bait and walk the beach with just the one outfit, much more mobile and finds the fish
