As expected, this morning was no fun at all… Got there around 6, the water had started to rise, and it was quite fresh after yesterday’s rain and change of weather, so I did not like wading into he surf. Started casting from the dry, and saw a few needlefish roaming the weaves. But I also saw quite a lot of grass… Soon enough, a needlefish struck the lure with such force I was sure it was a bluefish… But as I was pulling it in:

Again, what fun is there hauling the fish through so much seaweed and cleaning the lure every cast… Still, I walked from Altura to Manta Rota casting about 2,5 hrs without success. I saw a few boils after the lure but I am almost certain it was all needlefish. Now I wander if I should try at dusk, for now the heigh tide falls in the evening…
