repeat

Water and wind conditions are the same as yesterday...good southeast wind and dirty water

yesterdays catch included pompano, spanish, blue, reds, and hard tails

Dingy agin

We have mackeral type conditions today..a good southeast wind and nice waves...the water is stained again but mackeral will feed in it...

yesterdays catch included more pompano, sspanish, blues, hard tails, and reds

pray for sunshine thi weekend and get your gear ready

DINGY AGAIN

We have a perfect mackeral day, a nice southeast wind and good waves....the water is stained, but the kings will feed if they are there..

yesterdays catch included more pompano, spanish, bllues, hard tails, and reds

check your gear and get ready for the weekend...hopefully the rain will hold off

Good water equals good fishing

Yesterdays clear water gave up 3 cobias to pier fishermen...one was taken on a gotcha...this is the second one so far..maybe a new secret cobia lure? you be the judge

the water is again clear and we have a good east wind with nice waves

yesterdays catch also included pompano, spanish, blues, reds, and hardtails

if the weather holds it will be a good weekend for fishing

I can't believe it

Hard to believe, but the water has cleared up..visibility is very good...temp 68...there are good swells and just a light wind

no fish were reported yesterday but already today they have got spanish, pompano and blues

April showers bring May fish

This has been the wettest april on record. The 2 plus inches last night did just what you would expect to the water...its dirty again southern wind pushing high surf...if the rain stops or you dont mind getting wet....conditions are okay for mackeral and using live bait for cobia, but sight fishing would be very hard

yesterdays catch included spanish, blues and pompano

Got Another one

A good angler got another cobia yesterday...if he had been in the tourney it would have placed in the money, but....

Still have a north wind seas are calm and the water clean visibility is okay

yesterdays catch included the cobia, spanish, blues, reds, and pompano

Cold Sunday

Well the good news is that the north wind has somewhat cleared the water...while not crystal clear there is some visibility...

Yesterdays catch included spanish, blues, reds, sheepshead and still more pompano

this is susposed to be the last cold snap of the year

Weekend weather

Last night rain storm silted up the water a bit...in close it is cloudly but visibility improves as you go further out on the pier....Alex lost a big cobia at gaff today..people say it would have placed first or second in the tourney

yesterdays catch included spanish, king, sheepshead, reds, blues, and still mre pompano

a tide line should come through and with this north wind improve water conditions for this afternoon and sunday

clear water

This is the clearest the water has been in a good while...hardly any breeze and the small waves are coming from the southeast...this all adds up to perfect cobia conditions....

if you have signed up for the cobia tourney and have not got your tee shirt, just stop by and pick it up

remember the tourney pays 3 places...I am sure that there will be more money fish caugth before it is over...if your not in it you can sign up now

yesterdays catch included spanish were seeing some good runs of these gotcha plugs working the best, blues, pompano this is the longest streak of catches in a good while ...big reds, sheepshead and kings

it all points toward a good weekend of fishing if the weather holds

A biggie yesterday

Seas are calm with just a light chop visibility good down about 5-10 feet getting a light east wind...

yesterdays catch included Vince's #60 cobia, spanish, blues, pompano still around, reds, and kings

seems that the fish are here, come on out this week end and git it your best first shot

About the same

The good news is April is half over, soon we will be getting consistently good warm weather...

the gulf is the same as yesterday..a light chop and some tint to the water...curent and wind from the south...its amazing that we get a southern breeze and the air temp is still so cold...but again that's April

Yesterdays catch included more spanish, pompano again looks they they are making a comeback, blues and one cuda

Never the same

Weekend is here and of course the water has changed...The good news is that we have a perfect east southeast wind and current...this always pushes the fish in to us.....the so so news is that after a day of clearing today while visible the water has a slight tint..with good sunglasses you can still see the fish it hust looks ugly

yesterdays catch included the one cobia, blues, pompano, and spanish...seems like pompano have been caught every day

we stock some excellent artifical baits for pompano included soft mold sand fleas

I can see the bottom

Clear water just in time for the weekend...if we don't have any major storms the seas wil be perfect for fishing can already see the bottom close in and it is clear all the way to the end....

the other biggie for today is already one cobia has been landed....the secret weapon in this case was a gotcha plug

yesterdays catch included spanish, blues, reds , and pompano

remember we are open 24 hours now so come early and stay late

Still Dirty

When you look at the water you wonder how we got the nickname emerald coast....the water is still dirty but calm and cleaning up a bit...

yesterdays catch included spanish, blues, and whitings

temp is coming up and at elast we have sun shine

should be cleared up by weekend

dont forget the cobia tourney

good weather forcasted

Weatherman perdicts no rain for the next week..hope he's right. the seas have calmed down we have medium swells...still dirty but clearing up ...if we get a good tide line it could clear up in a day or two

yesterdays catch included spanish and blues

Counter

more rain

another storm more dirty water, seems like thats the story of April so far this year...the sun is trying to peek out and should be in and out most of the day...the southeast wind will help push in any fish out there

yesterdays catch included spanish and blues

Big Mac Attack

Yesterday's rumor was true the first king mackrel was caught. The catch also included pompano, spanish, skipjack, and blues.

Temperature is rising and fishing is picking up. it will only get better from here on out if the water cooperates.

Todays water conditions are yucky..dirty water..on the good side have a nice south east wind..not much hope for cobia today but other species will be available to take a bait

if you have any photos that would be of interest to others e mail them to islandpier@cybertron.com and i will put them up for all to see

RUMOR

As this is being typed the rummor is that someone has a large king on at the end of the pier.
this would be the first one of the year and worth a free years pass to whoever is the lucky angler, if they land it. Tune in tomorrow for updates.

The water has a little tint in it but still can see the fish.. temp is good and we have a nice southeast current the best kind for fishing.

Yesterdays catch included spanish, skipjack, blues, sheepshead and pompano

things are looking up come on out and enjoy a day of fishing

Soooo much better

The gulf is in much better shape then it was the last two days...light chop and swells...temp 67

visibility while not perfect is good enough to see fish...

yesterdays catch included spanish, big reds, bules, sheepshead and pompano

it should be a great week end for fishing come on out and enjoy a day in the sunshine

so so

After yesterdays terrible conditions it's susprising that the catch included pompano, spanish, and sheepshead.

conditions are better today, still not good but better looks like some clean water off the end, so hopefully we will be good by the week end

today is the last day to get a reduction in fees for the cobia tourney todays cost is $35 after today the price jumps to $50 still a good bet for a $1000 prize

Yes we have weather

The stroms of the last two days have left the gulf a mess..water is dirty and rough

temp at 67 which is the only good water condition today

yesterday they saw a few cobia but did not land any...the catch included red, bules, and spanish
