south beaches fishable up till now.winds change weed changes concentration onshore.all im saying is the southern shores are easier to predicet than the eastern...ie very few eastern winds .all im saying is try reading the weather /winds yourself and report back if you fished the area....just seems this site is going a bit stale ........pity with the price of fuel these days... :oops: :oops: :oops: :cry: :cry: :cry: :shock:
