The Naps on Halloween

Well I did make it out there on 10/31. Arrived there around 5AM to catch the incoming. Noticed there was a lot of SW wind and that I should have brought the plug bag. lol oh well. Plus I saw several small crabs lying around from the birds which was also not a good sign.

So I made the walk to the tip and fished the northern point after getting fustrated at the big rock near the point. Tough conditions there.

At the northern point and the pond the fishing was much easier but not productive. Not a sign or a bump. Lots of ducks though!!!! Brant,Mergs Blacks and the occasional bufflehead flew past my areas.

During the walk back around 9:30 I met one other fly fishermen with the same look on his face. We talked for a bit and watched two events of birds working the water which were way to far even for a skilled plug or tin caster. So the bait is still out there. Whether the fish are? I never found out.
I was a beautiful sunrise but the SW wind creating the whitecap came with it. And we all know the SW precedes a storm usually. Was thinking about the toggers out there.

So now I put away my fishing equipment, clean the guns and decoys and prepare for the next waterfowl season!
