Went out last night and I am starting to get a pulse on how the tides have an effect on the fish. I vowed to spend as much time trying to see the reaction of fish towards sizes of baits, pressure from a SUP, and different types of lights as I did fishing. When I learn how to post pics, you will soon see the difference of lights, and the productivity of lights throughout the coarse of the season. In the summer when glass minnows and small baitfish are around the underwater green lights produce numbers and average size. As it tends to cool, I am starting to see more activity on the basic bulb sitting on top of the water, broad white lights have not done much for me lately in the fall.
Anyways---Stuck two reds; one was 18" the other a rat. Got another snook, but still short 24". I pull into a light that has produced many fish in the past. Immediately I spot a 26-28" snook cruising around, not chasing just cruising. The water was moving, but for 10 minutes I couldn't get the fish to eat. Every couple of minutes I would see a big swirl on a light a couple of 100 feet away. I decided I couldn't get him to eat so I pushed down, and closer to the sea wall to get a better cast at the light light. As I get to the point of no return I look down only to notice 7-10 over 30"s stacked up in the shadows. I guess the moral of the story, the visible one will never have dinner with you.
