Still the junior angler prize is up for grabs...no entries....any fish caught my an angler 12 or under can will this prize

same weather..got the east wind blowing strong great waves...clear water an a temp of 71

yesterdays catch was okay.. got some pompano flounder, reds, blues, and skipjack

for boaters a reminder that this is the last day of red snapper season

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

Fish

Broken record on the weather...Cool north wind crystal clear water and small waves...Temp 72 this morning

more fish showed up yesterday..At time there were acres and acres of skipjack...They also reported some Spanish, reds, blues, bonito, and pompano...

rumor has it that bonito are striking about anything this morning

Better fishing

Conditions still about the same...Water temperature 72 crystal clear light north wind small waves...The sand bars are still looking for a permanent place

more fish showed up yesterday that had a huge catch of reds, some Spanish, skipjack, blues, and a few black snapper...

so far there is no entry in the junior angler category for the pier...12 and under catch a fish enter it in the rodeo and win a prize..Times running out for this one

Sand

The beach and sandbars are changing daily...It will be interesting to see where they finally end up

weather almost no change still a north wind which knocks down any waves and crystal clear water

yesterdays catch was kind of light again a few Spanish skipjack and reds.

water temp

This cold snap has dropped the water temperature to 73...we still have clear and calm seas with a light chilly north wind

not many fishers but they did report catches of skipjack and reds

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

no fish were reported yesterday...One of the reasons, not very many hard core fishers were out

Windy

Feels like winter is here...We have a strong north wind which is bringing down the temperature....Wind has knocked down all the waves, so it is flat and clear

yesterdays catch was again on the small side, just a few flounder, Spanish and blues

Cool

Our first of many cool nights....The wind is out of the north and we have some nice waves and swells....Water is still very clean

not much action yesterday a few Spanish, flounder, and blues

the sand bars have moved again..We gained 30-40 feet of beach sand overnight

cool

Our first of several cool nights....still have the dreaded north wind, good waves and swells, and clean water

yesterdays catch not much just a few spanish, blues and flounder

overnight the beach grew by 30-40 feet the sandbars have moved and will continue to move can make for some interesting fishing

NORTH AGAIN

Wind has shifted to the north again...Expecting some cool temperatures the water is still clear and the waves have dropped a bit but still 2-3

fishing remains slow just a couple of good Spanish runs and some blues

Wilma

We are seeing the first signs of Wilma...Our wind is still light and from the south, but the seas are building and the water stirred up...It is still clean..Just hard to see into because of the wave action

yesterdays catch included some more good runs of Spanish, skipjack, blues and reds

change

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

yesterday we had several great runs of spanish, they would only stay in 15-20 minutes, but when they were there everybdy was getting them ...also a few black snapper were reported

already getting more spanish today

similiar

north wind

wather conditions remain unchanged today still a north wind calm and clear seas

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

we need for the wnd to change the things will pick up

still slow

I think if the north wind ever stops and turns from the south things will bust wide open

the northwind is stronger today the seas are still calm and clear the only reports received from yesterday were a few spanish and hardtails

leading in the pier catagory

king 17.6
pompano 3.2
spanish 3.6
jack crevalle 29.0

waiting

Slow day on the pier yesterday....the only thing reported were a few spanish

conditions are the same...an east wind calm clear seas

fish should be here...

hoping this lull in fishing ends and they start up again...

slow

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

the weather conditions about the same...wind is still light but now out of the east...water still clear and small waves from the south east

if the wind continues to shift and gets south or southeast fishing should pick up

warmer water

Water tmp went back up to 82 its the time of the year when it will yoyo back and forth a few degrees outside of that everything remains the same...a very light north wind calm seas and clear water

there is no sign of red tide nor has there been any around the pier this season

yesterdays catch was slow..a couple of flounder, blues, hardtails, and spanish

not crowded

Holiday weekend is over and there is a fishing space reserved for you today

Weather remains about the same calm wind and seas clear water and a temp of 79

yesterdays catch was down a bit there were reports of a few pompano, spanish, slkipjack, hardtails,and a sheepshead

cool temps

The air temp got into the high 50's last night...water temp still a warm 80...seas are flat calm with perfect visibility and almost no wind

there are still some alwives around the pier cigar fish are scarce

yesterdays catch slowed down a bit with only a few pompano, skipjack, and hardtails reported

good conditions

the wind has changed just a bit today..it very light and a little west of north...we have more ripples then waves and they are coming from the southwest...the water is crystal clear temp still 82

yesterdays catch picked up some..we did not have kings reported but heard about
spanish, reds, skipjack, hardtails, a few pompano, and blues

slower

Water temp is still a nice 82...seas are clear and calm with a slight north wind

yesterdays catch included a few schoolie kings, spanish, reds and hardtails, as usual there may have been more caught but not told to us...

so far the rodeo entries for the pier are pompano 2.4 king 17.6

no entries so far for spanish, jack carvalle or the junior angler

more fish

We have a cold front coming through today or tomorrow...this will knock the temperature down 5-10 degrees. in the mean time its a bit misty out with some periods of light rain..the wind has calmed down and is light out of the north..the seas are still clear and calm

yesterdays catch was a flag waver they got red, white, and blue....also kings at least one good size and several schoolies, spanish, skipjack, hardtails, and pompano..all in all a good day catching

the cooler temperatures should make for a enjoyable fishing weekend

fish

As perdicted the seas calmed down and fish started biting....today we have calm seas still a north wind and very clear water

So far the largest king mackeral caught in the entire destin rodeo has been off your pier. proves that you dont need to spend hundreds of dollars to catch a winner

also yesterday they got spanish, reds, blues and hardtails

today still catching some schoolie kings

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

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

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

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
