Quick Shore Trip 9/20

This is going to be real quick... Still feeling the itch, after landing that corvina yesterday, I ran out about 10:30am, to Harbor Island to see what I could hook. I threw the same Spin Bomb lure I threw yesterday, and on the weekend. I got a spottie almost immediately, out in front of the Hilton. About 5 casts later, I landed two spotties in two casts. Things were looking good. I scraped up one more at that spot, and decided to try my luck elsewhere.

I'd heard "Liberty Station" had opened, opening up some shore fishing that hadn't been available previously. I found it a little shallow, and after a few fishless casts, I moved on to the Shelter Island boat launch.

I've got some decent bass from the outside of the launch's breakwater - my first legal barred sand bass (from shore) came off that spot. Unfortunately, there was a lot of suspended grass to foul my spinners, so I moved to the other side of the launch. I found a spot near some sialbaot moorings. First cast was a winner, a decent spottie. Nice. A few casts later a dink spottie, and that was enough for me...

I had to get home to get ready for work. Had to fit in a trip, as it's supposed to rain for the next couple of days.
