Kris and Eddie experienced some decent catch and release fishing when they waded out near the break the other day, so I went with Kris yesterday despite the poor solunar activity level and wind/rain forecast.  The weather forecast was accurate.  We got rained on and the gusts exceeded 25 mph.

The fishing was much slower than normal.  Kris was dunking and missed 3 large strikes that pulled drag. They either cut the leader line or came unbuttoned. I caught a couple small papio and a moana dragging bait and once again, nothing touched my kastmaster or swimming plug.

Maybe those solunar charts are accurate.  Do you guys believe in them? I’ll run a poll to see how you guys feel.

What was the silver lining in the cold, blustery day of few fish?  Data to log supporting poor fishing on low solunar activity days.  And my waterproof bag stayed dry except for when I had it open and a wave swamped me.

This is the tide/solunar chart site I use.
