    Sandy Point Flats

    Fished the incoming from 10:30am to 4:30pm yesterday. Was slow for Ben and I. He hooked 2 and landed 1. I normally fish the last 3 hours of incoming and last 3 of outgoing rule of thumb. However, I wanted to hopefully catch the fish coming up onto the flat for the entire incoming but no dice. I also wanted to show Ben what the flat looked like at dead low. I feel that this is a great way to learn the layout of this area. Where the drop offs are, where the flats begin, where the grass flats are, etc. Anyone looking to fish this area for the first time, I recommend doing this. A few fish here and there. Towards the end of the day, I was walking on the flat and had 2 fish come up behind me and within 4 feet of me. Amazingly they didn't spook. Hung right next to me. Perfect site fishing opportunity that I was looking for. I had the rod in my left hand, fish on my right about 4 feet away, I dropped my sand eel pattern in front of me and has he crossed in front I gently dragged the fly back to me and he went for it like it was the last piece of food on earth. Saw him go for it, saw the take, and FISH ON! Landed him. Approx 17 inches or so. Not the biggest fish but that made my day. I could site fish all day. If that was the only kind of fishing I could do, this is it. I plan on living here from now through the summer. I am going to stick to the 3 hours before and 3 hours after high tide rule. That has seemed to work the best for me.
