Pre-Pod action

Went podding twice today. This morning was low tide dead calm and no bait in sight.
Looked for bait agin and found some really good pre-pod action this afternoon. Pilchards were thick in the first trough north of Sunrise Blvd. Our friends the pelicans were there and there was one "Happy Baiter" casting off the beach with a box full of plugs. We did not see any lunkers or any fish feeding for that mater. The most positive sign was the bait was moving south.

I can smell them, I can feel them they are almost starting to show!

The Old Timers call it Happy Bait, I call it The Run, either way dont show up with gear that don

In the world of fishing, every angler carries a nickname that tells a story, and for Todd, it's "Horsecranker." This moniker isn't just a quirky title; it's a testament to a memorable day on the water with Captain Jeff, the Lunkerdog, where reeling in dreams turned into an epic battle of willpower. Picture this: the sun painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, the tranquil waters gently rocking the boat, and Todd, a spirited angler, standing at the helm.
