new wind

Finally something other then a north wind....today it has shifted to the east and may being still shifting to a little south of east as the day goes on...fisherman know the southeast is the best wind for the pier

the water is still clear and we have some fishing size waves...temp 72

yesterday saw a big increase in the daily catch..had a good run of bonito, still acres of skipjack, along with spanish, reds, blues, pompano, and flounder

all in all a good day of fishing

Cold

Weather conditions the same...Cold north wind that keeps the waves down and clear water

the beach is still growing another 100 feet added over night

Finally a small change in the weather.....today we still have the clear water but the wind has finally shifted to the south and some small waves...this should really help fishing if it holds for a day or two

the fishing is abnormally slow for this time of the year just a few hardtails and flounder reported

slow

Fishing slowed down yesterday....just a few spanish and blues reported...could very well have been more but don't want to speculate

still rough

The wave action has calmed down a bit, but still rough if nothing major happens should be calm tomorrow...our northeast wind is being caused by the storm of bermuda dont know what it's going to do so we again have northeast wind and southeast waves the water is still clean

not many fish the reported catches were spanish, hardtails, skipjack, blues, and reds


one entry n the destin rodeo a 2.4 pompano

Tuesday, October 04, 2005

rough

If the seas return to normal the fishing should be great....again today we have a strong east wind, waves out of the southeast and clean water..the latest storm in the southern gulf is still pushing all the water this way

again not much caught just a few skipjack and spanish were reported

our winter hours have already started we are now open from 6am to 10 pm daily

Monday, October 03, 2005

REPEAT

Looks the same as yesterday..we have a strong east wind, waves from the southeast and riled up water

just a few whiting and hardtails again reported yesterday

Sunday, October 02, 2005

churned up

usually when we have a north east wind the seas lay down....not today the will is brisk, and the seas are riled up...waves coming out of the southeast again...the water appears to be clean but wave action affected the visibility

the only reported catches yesterday were hardtails, and whiting
