Thoughts of spring 

Clearing

We have a cool north wind which has knocked down the waves, and mostly cleared up the water

water temp 64 air temp 46

the few fishers we had yesterday did not bother to give us any catch reports

another proud king catcher 

Don't worry he gently put in back 

Changes

After months of clear water, we have a day of riled up...got a west wind medium swells and the riled up water

another day with not many fishers, but those out out managed to catch a few reds and blues

want to thank every one who has sent pictures of their catch...will publish them on this blog

Yucky day

After many good days, we were due for a few bad weather ones..it is overcast will about 98 pct humidity today...no rain yet but could happen...air temp is great no jacket needed (execpt for possible rain)....the gulf is riled up the light wind from the southeast and big swells have it stirred up.... good news is that when you come out today there will be lots f room and not many people to crowd around you

yesterday catch reflected the rain not many fishers and only a few reds and blues

rainy days and sunday

today it started out as a rainy and windy day, but by noon it cleared up. water is rough and clean. not many people fishing today so no reports as of yet.

yesterday they caught black drum, red drum, whiting, blue and pompano.

this afternoon looks goooood so come try your luck.

What Devan uses for bait

Avoid the crowds

We have an east wind today clear seas and waves from the southeast..it could shape up for a nice day of fishing...the wind is light and the skies a bit overcast

Yesterdays catch included black drum, reds, whitng, sheepshead, and pompano.....looks like mackeral are gone but one could still show up

you can avoid the mall crowds and christmas shop here....we have items for any budget, from drink huggies to season passes ...t shirts, hats and gift certificates

Nice day

You could not ask for a better day in late November. The skies and water are clear...water temp 64 air 61...we have a slight northeast wind and small waves out of the southwest

yesterday they had some good runs of bonito, reds, and blus with a few pompano caught for good measure

bring some leftovers and see if the fish eat turkey

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

today is turkey day and the weather has been good to us today. it is warm for this time of year though we do have a gusty west wind which is making the water choppy. it is too early to tell if the water clarity is affected.

yesterdays catch was a patriotic day with red whiting blue and a couple of pompano thrown in for good measure.

after eating turkey come out to the pier to work off some of that stuffing and try your luck.

it took all three to land this one
