Threw about two dozen casts into the water around the secret spot from the dock side again. I guess the fact that I trespassed successfully yesterday further emboldened me today.
The weather was rotten for fishing. The wind was blowing about 15 mph, which made casting difficult and chopped up the water so much that I think the fish had a hard time seeing my retrieve.
I did get one really powerful hit, but missed the hookset. It was a very large ladyfish and might have set a new record for me, but after a good tug, the fish let go and I was left to mutter a few curses.
I also saw a few fish follow my lure up all the way to my feet. I'm not sure why they aren't taking it--maybe it was the weather conditions--or maybe all the scratches and dents in my trusty Yo-zuri are betraying its artificial make-up.
After my few dozen casts, not one, but two sets of castnetters showed up, so I packed up my stuff and headed off. There is no way that all that castnet action is not spooking or permanently scaring off the fish.
Maybe it is time to find a new secret spot.
