Guess I picked wrong, twice.

Went to O-side this morning for about 2 hrs (9-11am). I had one BP about 5", Dad got 0. Lot's of bites, just couldn't make 'em stick. Water was super-clear, almost no swell. Cold offshore wind for the first hr or so.

Dad, Step-dad, and I hit south Hunington? around 2:30, fished till 3:30 or 4. No bites. I did spend half the time practicing with a flyrod, and S-dad used the same. Beach topo is goofy due to all the build-up from the rains dumping out of the river. It was immediately obvious that there would be no fish caught. But, we tried. Coldish and very strong onshore wind, swell was small.

Fun day with the dads though, and we'll due it again soon.
