[EFC fishing]

Went back to the inside spot again from 4:30 pm to 6:20 pm. Sunday afternoon. Wind had picked up more this day, coming from the south & so again. Brought a couple extra setups to throw tube lures out as well as get some live bait out. Also throwing the jig again on the bottom. Couldnt get any local live bait here this time to set back out. Saw the school once again but they were real spooky, appearing just at the edge of the sand & grass then disappearing, then reappearing in a different location on the edges of the sand. They have some good length for what they are, but they were not interested in jigs once again. Likewise, no followers on the tube. To be continued....

better next time maybe. just keep using the tubes and a cuda will hit eventually.
sometimes you might have to construct a smaller tube lure for smaller cudas.

Myself and a few other guys I know fish for cuda almost daily, we use nothing but the tubes we make. Certain conditions favor cuda fishing and this isn't the time of year that's best, that said we have have been banging them pretty decent on tubes considering it's still winter. For the most part only larger cuda hit tubes, even made smaller they don't really attract the small fish. My tubes are 12-18" depending on the style I'm making, my tubes with limerick hooks are the shorter ones, trebless are the longer ones. Calm water, west wind, incoming right before tide change and warmer water are the optimum conditions.
