No Bunker Required...Deal Surf Report 5/3
 

Fished off the rocks today in Deal with the fly rod. I fished from 5:30am to around 6:15am.

Water looked good as there was a moderate North East blowing and out going tide. I fished the south side of the rocks initally with a spread fly (herring immitation) but quicky switched to a Declouser/half and half fly.

This fly had a dumbell head to get it down a little in the water.

The fish hit it about 15ft from the rocks and it was a nice clean 34 incher.
I kept this fish as it is one of maybe 3 or 4 I will keep all year.

It will make a nice spring chowder. The cooked down bones and remains will go in the garden as tomato food.

Beautiful morning. Great way to start the day.

Leif

Nice catch. It must be a thrill to catch a bass that size on one of your own creations. Glad none of that fish will go to waste. The remains will make the best fertilizer.

Nothing more rewarding than catching a Striper from the beach.

Nice Leif!!
