Went out to IOP yesterday. The wind was pretty unforgiving and the surf was rough but we managed to still have a good day. Caught around 25 nice size whiting along with some rays and a small blacktip. My girlfriends rod got slammed at one point but she made a rookie mistake and tried to horse it in too quickly and ended up straitening out the hook. Great day all around.
Sounds like a great day. I wish I had been with you. I took my grandson out there Saturday morning. We got there right at low tide and fished until about 4pm. We caught one whiting and that was it. We moved down the beach 3 times, but never found them. I found several trenches, but nothing. I thought maybe it was the sudden change in weather with the front coming through Friday night, but I guess I was just in the wrong place. Were you at the northern end of the island ?

Yes we were. I will chalk it up to right place at the right time because all those fish were caught in the first hour and a half maybe. After that things went dead. Stayed for another hour and a half and maybe caught 3 fish.
