back to work

It seems that the fish take long week ends off also..

no kings yesterday..but they had good catches of spanish, hardtails, skipjack, bonito reds, and blues.

gulf conditions are the same...clean water, southeast wind, and rough surf...

stormy night

The gulf is about what you would expect it to be after the thunderstorms last night...we have a strong south wind, and high seas..with the overcast skies it is hard to determine the water clarity but it does appear to be clean

yesterdays catch included spanish, bonito, hardtails, and skipjack

fishing is good

today we have an overcast sky light south wind good visibility and small waves...if the wind picks up as it should conditions will be ideal

yesterdays catc included spanish, hardtails, skipjack, kings, pompano, and bonito

please remember the reason for this holiday

good conditions

Everything is in place the wind is from the southwest light chop good visibility

yesterdays catch included shapish, hardtails, skipjack, king, and pompano

the hours just before sunset and right after have of late been excellent fishing times

this could be a great holiday weekend for fishing...

we have a light east wind warm water and a small chop visibility is excellent plus there is plenty of cigar minnows around the pier...

yesterdays catch included

spanish, blues, hardtails, skipjack, king, and pompano

getting ready for the big weekend

the cold front that moved through two nights ago affected fishing a wee bit...on the other hand it made it much nicer for the people fishing.

we have an east wind good waves and clear 79 degree water..
yesterdays catch was kinda down but still got spanish, hardtails, skipjack, pompano, blues and reds

weather change

the biggest change today is the wind and temp...we're about 15 degrees cooler then yesterday and now have a strong northeast wind..water temp 78 and still clear overcast skies...

yesterdays catch a repeat of the last several days spanish, hardtails, blues, skipjack, and kings

another good day

weather conditions are the same wind is a little stronger so it doesn't feel to hot on the pier

yesterdays catch included spanish, hardtails, skipjack, kings some over 20 pounds, and blues

FYI the sheriff's department issued tickets to netters under the pier yesterday. There is a 150 foot exclusion area around the pier. it is not the pier who is enforcing this but the sheriff.

good conditions

looks like mackeral weather...nice southwest wind good waves and a temp of 81

yesterdays catch included spanish, hardtails, skipjack, lues and more kings

2 May

April is gone but conditions are not much better....the water has started to clear up and visibility is some what better, but still not ideal...wind out of the north and chilly...got some good swells

yesterdays catch included spanish, reds, and hardtails

Bye Bye April

May is here and right now it doesn't look much better....yesterday's horrible conditions severely cut down on the number of fishermen and the only reported catches were spanish and hard tails. Right now we have a cold north wind but is susposed to shift to the southeast sometime today. When this happens and if the water clears up fishing will improve

FYI this April produced the most rain ever recorded in a 30 day period ever. its gotta change sometime
