thnaks to everyone who left comments the other day...this wa a very healthy and """"serious""" discourse. The one thing I noticed is there is the stereotyping bunching all ""kids"" in the same catagory.. as with every group 99% are good and 1% trouble....if we can help identify that 1% and deal with them it will make for a better place to fish

May 1

Today the water is still a little rough but it is fairly clean. The wind is not as bad as has been for the past 2 days. Still out of the southeast though. Water temp is 75.

27 Apr

Upon further review, one of the cobias caught yesterday was a bit on the small size and was released unharmed. the fisherman was smart enough to use a net to bring it up rather then harm a questionable fish with a gaff..the other one was not weighted but appeared to be 20-22 pounds..

today we have clear skies and a light north wind...water is a bit murkey with 2-3 and a temp of 77

25 Apr

Again we have a light west wind, clear skies, and water...patches of grass are starting to appear in the water...these can ofter hold some dolphin...water temp 86 sounds kinda high to me could have been taken in a very sunny spot waves are 1-2

yesterdays reported catch again about the same a few runs of spanish couple pompano and one run of jack caravalle along with the hardtails.

To answer some of the comments the acutal name of a hardtail is blue runner. Whlie these are used as bait for large game fish, they are a member of the jack family. Most of them go 8-13 inches. The ones I saw yesterday were a bit larger then that. They are a easy and fun fish to catch. The spanish seems to average the same size in each run that comes in sometime barely 12-14 inches others 2-4 pounds.

so far today we have heard of spanish and hardtails being caught

there were two cobai sighted one hook up but lost

Comments

Phil,

It was my understanding that the pier tournament was limited to the Okaloosa pier. I am basing this on the fact that we were told the pier staff had to verify catches and the people putting up the prizes and associated with this pier and harbor docks in destin.

you can call harbor docks and talk to Cathy at 837-2506 and see what they say

Comments

Reference the 26 mar comments.

1. We will not be updating the blog at night. When we receive reports from fishermen, it is impossible to tell when they caught fish. At this time we do not want to question fishermen that might lead to less information rather then more. All reports are appreciated and we try to pass on the best data we receive.

2. Likewise it is impossible to tell when everyone comes here. The pier is open 24 hours and we do not keep a roster of fishermen. If you are refering to friends I would suggest you contact them about where and when they were someplace.

none of the fishers reported any catches yesterday

10 Mar

Good news is it's Friday and the sun is shinning ...we have a strong south wind, very high seas, and dirty water...in the past conditions have changed over night...hopefully this will be the case again

yesterdays reported catch was a few whiting and blues

9 Mar

The east wind has picked up speed..We have bigger waves and dirtier water today...Sky is overcast don't think we will get any rain

no reported catch yesterday, but some credible sources reported a cobia sighting...The fish followed a jig but did not bite

the is a one years pass for whoever catches the first legal cobia off the pier
