Westport Jetty looking "user-friendly" this weekend

Just a hedzup, since I'm working today. Conditions are looking right for paddling out and fishing the jetty this morning, and tomorrow looks to be the same. Light S to SW winds and a small swell.
Yesterday was calmer and smoother than when Rav and 2ndFY were here on Thurs. Today is even smoother out there so far.

Good plan would be to hit it early and fish the low tide change in the morning and fish the incoming tide thru the high tide change in the afternoon.
The " fishing dots" are getting bigger on my tide book, too.

I might be able to hit it again tomorrow (Sunday). Then, starting Monday, I'm just going to be paddling the estuaries and tidal creeks again while the tides and winds look good.

At the moment, its looking almost like a lake out there now, and screaming "You should be paddling out to fish the sunken jetty!" at me, but I'm going to go mow a lawn instead. I must be insane! Yes, driven to insanity by the way the tides and wind are shaping up for hitting some of my favorite cutthroat spots, all this coming week, starting tomorrow!
I gotta spend some time tonight at the vice, and whip up some more bugs!

Go gettum d00d!   

I whipped up a big ugly streamer some time 'round midnight Monday, arose before 5am on tuesday, paddled my ass around an estuary all day and explored some tidal creeks.
 7:30 am launch, 7pm return. At least 20 miles of paddling.  Ran into some nice searun cutts, but I really had to work hard for 'em.  Only about 5 or 6 good cutts to the boat. Lost another half dozen good ones.

My usual tricks didn't work at first, but I persisted in my delusion, and tried something new that worked out OK: Trolling the big ugly streamer around schools of baitfish lower down in the estuary.

Saw two families of river otters, a really scraggly loner raccoon, a mama raccoon with one youngster, and a coincidental series of sightings involving crested-headed bird species.
First a Great Blue Heron, then Arctic Terns doing "touch-and-goes" with their reflections on the morning glass before crashing down on baitfish. Kingfishers scolding me without mercy thruout the day.  Finally, I noticed a flock of Cedar Waxwings ravishing some twinberries on the river bank.  All these sort of "parrot-headed" birds made me feel like I should have brought along a bottle of rum and that I should get an ipod and load it up with some Jimmy Buffet tunes. 
OK, the tunes, maybe, but not the rum!
