So many factors, so little time. One of factors guys go back and forth on is what moon phase is good to fish. Well I decided to run down to 8th Ave to see what was going on. I pulled in and I was the only car in the lot. The moon was full and high, and the wind SE with a strong occasional gust. I walked out on the groin and made some casts, sometimes feeling the sting of the clouser against my back or neck, and it really hurts, especially the neck. I am going to start carrying clear safety glasses to wear when the wind is gusting and from a direction that is dangerous to cast into or alongside or against. I don't want to know what a Deciever in the eye feels like. I gave it a good shot fishing in front of the flume and working my way back to the beach. I spoke to a guy who had just drove from Bucks County to fish, and he was surprised no one was out. He was surprised to find a guy walking in the shadows and along the rocks with his "junk" hanging out of his pants and trying to make gestures to him from a distance. "Welcome to 8th Avenue!"

11.21.10 Figured I'd try the outgoing PM tide, full moon, hard SE wind...
