Had a choice between some work or go down to the beach today,so went down to the beach.Thougth I would tryHenderson Beach park as I hadnt been there in awhile, got there around 3:00 pm. Water rough, wind blowing pretty hard. This guy was already there, but didnt look like he was having any luck.



There was some seaweed, but not enough to worry about. No jelly fish. Set up and fished for about 30 minutes, waves just kept washing the bait in anddidnt get any bites. Picked up and walked down the beach and saw this area right next to the shore that didnt have any breakers and looked good so thought i would try it. Only cast about 20 feet out from the beach, but looked like a good hole.



Hadnt had the bait in for a minute and started getting bites. Then it got hit, pulled in a lady fish. Ended up catching about 8 of them. Not red snapper but fun to catch. Was using a pompano2 hook rig, one had fresh dead shrimp, the other one a sand flea i caught there. They hit both of them,but seemed to prefer the shrimp.Going to use them for chum next time I get out on the boat.



And this picture was from yesterday down on the beach about dark. Didnt fish any but it was still nice.
