Gravelly point in the wee hours

[Aaron O]

Thinking about sneaking away a couple hours tomorrow morning to fish Gravelly point.   I will either catch the first metro train in the morning (5AM) and get there a little before low tide or wake up around 3AM and bike there for some night/ early morning fishing.  Thinking about bringing my 5 wt. instead of my 7 wt., Any thoughts from the peanut gallery on this choice.  :)     I figure I've only caught smaller guys there so this could give the fish more of a fight.  However I do hear you guys talking about some decent size fish found in there and there is a decent current going through there. My 7 wt. would also be easier to bike with cause it packs down better (four piece compared to my 5 wt. which is a 2 piece).

 

 

P.S.  If anyone wants to join, your more than welcome to.  Just let me know

I would say go early to take advantage of the larger outflow from roaches during mid-tide, you'll also have more time on the water, assuming you have to leave at the same time regardless. 

If fishing the outflow is slow or when the tide gets low, try fishing the pilings by the boat launch.
